We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Will you be one of the 5%?

With over two decades of pizza-making experience, Efren Trejo Resendiz brings his culinary expertise to the establishment. The couple’s vision extends beyond serving quality food; they aim to provide support for local families affected by childhood cancer and raise awareness of the challenges they face. The pizzeria is an extension of their family’s motto, “Never on this journey of life alone,” embodying their desire to connect with and uplift their community.

Guests at the Grand Opening can expect live music, giveaways, and a variety of menu offerings, creating an inviting atmosphere for all attendees. The event will also feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony facilitated by the Chamber of Washington County, marking the pizzeria’s official debut in Hagerstown.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
