Answer the 2020 Census Today
It's essential that every resident complete the 2020 census. Since you probably have some extra time now, do it today!
You should have received a letter with online instructions and an access code. Can't find that? Don't worry, other ways to complete the census:
• Online at https://2020census.gov/en/ways-to-respond.html
• By phone at 844-330-2020
• The Census website offers support for 50 different languages! See the complete list and instructions for language support at https://2020census.gov/en/languages.html.
Remember: the census counts residents (people) not citizens. There is no citizenship question on the census. Estimates are that each resident who is counted brings about $2,000 per year to Lansdowne, Delaware County and Pennsylvania. Read this Census 101 fact sheet for more general information.

Continuing Our Life Center Ministry
Monetary donations are needed to continue providing meals for the Life Center.
For the past 3 decades, churches and groups have been preparing a hot meal to serve at the Life Center at 63rd Street every single day. What a miraculous ministry! Because of the COVID-19 crisis, this practice cannot continue in the same way.
You can still help by making a monetary donation to keep this ministry alive. Mail a check - payable to Community Outreach Project (or COP for short) - to:
COP Meals
c/o St. Paul's Lutheran Church
50 East Plumstead Avenue
Lansdowne, PA 19050
And if any organizations/businesses can donate a case or more of plastic utensils, napkins, paper/plastic cups and plates, please email the details to copmeals@gmail.com.
