Dear Reader,

Our guiding motto is โ€œnews in pursuit of truth.โ€ The 25 reporters, photographers and editors that fill our newsroom are driven by their integrity and commitment to keeping our readers informed with reliable, high-quality local journalism.

And we want to ensure that Vermontโ€™s children have the tools they need to become lifelong readers and engaged citizens. But 60 percent of low-income Vermont families have no childrenโ€™s books at home, and many kids canโ€™t access the reading material they need.

For our Spring Membership Drive, VTDigger is partnering with the Childrenโ€™s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) to provide 2,500 books to Vermont kids. Donate to VTDigger in any amount, and an underserved child will receive a brand new book.

If every person reading this article gave $10 now, we would hit our fundraising goal today. What do you say? Will you help fund local journalism and send a book?

Thanks to our local business supporters, you will also be entered to win one of two $100 gift cards to Guyโ€™s Farm and Yard or $100 to The Local: Wine and Beer in Middlesex.

Letโ€™s help keep journalism strong and ensure that Vermontโ€™s children are given the tools they need to become readers and critical thinkers.

There are only nine days left to make a gift and send a book. Thanks for considering a donation at any level that works for you!

Yours,

Florencio Terra

Membership Manager
