Dear reader,

As a regional reporter at VTDigger, I gather information in southern Vermont and beyond to provide you, our readers, with the facts you need to form opinions and make decisions. 

When I hear gratitude from community members for the care I put in reporting their difficult life situations, or when I see my stories resulting in changes to state policies, I’m reminded that our work really matters.

My reporting would not be possible without reader support. There are fewer than ten days left in VTDigger’s critical spring drive, and we have a steep hill to climb.  Please consider a gift in any amount, and keep me, and my newsroom colleagues, on the beat every day.

Donations are tax deductible, and each member will also be sending a brand-new book to a Vermont child through the Children’s Literacy Foundation. Our goal is to provide 3,000 books, and we still have 1,825 books to go — and need as many members — in fewer than ten days.

From breaking news to policy analysis and investigations with impact, VTDigger provides an irreplaceable public service for Vermont. If you value our reporting, please consider supporting our work today.

Thank you for your generosity.
