Census Needs Thousands of People to Fill Jobs!

The US Census Bureau will hire thousands of people throughout the Kansas City Region for the six states of Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas between now and next spring. This strong economic shot in the arm is like having a factory open up in each of the region’s states! Up to a total of 35,000 people will be on staff during peak times.

These are good paying, temporary jobs that range from $11.50 to $20.00 per hour plus mileage for the field positions of Recruiting Assistants, Crew Leaders, Crew Leaders Assistants and Census Takers. The pay for Census Clerks range from $7.50 to $12.75 per hour depending on location. There may be some opportunities for advancement. For jobs please call (866) 861-2010.

Seeking Volunteers Jesse Cosby Center

Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center is in need of volunteer drivers and runners to deliver meals to homebound recipients. You can volunteer once a week, every other week or once a month. You should count on one to one and a half (1 ½) hours per day to deliver the meals. Your church group might want to do this on a rotating basis.

New volunteers attend a very brief orientation session before they start volunteering (often the first day they volunteer), Volunteer drivers donate their mileage, which is tax deductible. Should funds become available, we will collect mileage information in order to reimburse. Each driver must carry his or her own auto liability insurance.

The Center is also looking for volunteers to help with our senior services recreation and education program and help with outreach in helping clients prevent or overcome homelessness through our rental and utility assistance program.

If interested in volunteering for the meals call 234-1793 and ask for Betty. To volunteer for the other program, as for Gary or Jesse. Thank you for your help.
