Happy December!

Thank you for reading Down in the County.

This coming year our photo-inspired publication will see more content and services. We will establish a new, full website, hire a full-time reporter-in-residence and continue our mentorship of local youth.

This is essential work and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of community members like you.

That’s why we’re excited to share that we have an opportunity to raise up to $30,000 through NewsMatch, a collaborative fundraising movement to support independent, public service journalism like ours.

Here’s how it works.

Starting TODAY—through December 31—NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift up to $1,000. That means, through NewsMatch, we can earn up to $45,000.

YOU make Down in the County happen. Donate and become a vital part of growing a visual and written history of the county.

With gratitude,

Andrea Bruce
