CENSUS 2010

IT’S IMPORTANT…

The information the census collects helps to determine how more than $400 billion dollars of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services like:

•Hospitals
•Job training centers
•Schools
•Senior centers
•Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
•Emergency services
Participation isn't just important—it's mandatory.

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM LEAD DUST!
Test your child. Test your home.
Children can get lead in their bodies by swallowing or breathing lead dust.

Lead in the body can:
• hurt a child’s brain, kidneys and nervous system.
• make it hard to learn, pay attention, and behave.
Ask your doctor to test your child for lead at ages
1, 2, 3 and 4.

Have your home tested by a licensed lead inspector. Call the City of Worcester Lead Program for more information (508) 799-8589 or to Learn more.
