Dear Reader,
As you know, VTDigger is your valuable, independent source of information on what’s happening in Vermont. I am honored to return to Vermont as VTDigger’s new editor-in-chief and to lead this talented team of journalists, who are deeply committed to truth, accountability and community.
Today we are announcing a special partnership that connects two pillars of a healthy community: fact-based journalism and childhood literacy.
This week, your gift will support local journalism as well as the news readers of tomorrow by sending a brand-new book to a Vermont child through the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF).
Will you help us send 350 books from 350 members by Saturday, July 19?
Just as journalism opens up the minds and hearts of our audiences, children’s books invite young people to learn about new things and feel what it’s like to make different journeys.
In a time when housing, groceries and healthcare dominate family budgets, children’s books shouldn’t be a luxury. But for many families, they are.
Make a gift today and you will be keeping our community strong by supporting VTDigger’s capacity to provide you with local news and sending a new book to a Vermont child.
Sincerely,
Geeta Anand
Editor-in-chief, VTDigger
Each donation of a brand-new children’s book via the Children’s Literacy Foundation has been generously underwritten by the Vermont Book Shop. 100% of your gift to VTDigger will directly support our journalism.
