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%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The training will be offered on March 8, June 14, September 27, and November 8, 2025. Each session runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at 18350 Public Safety Place, Hagerstown, MD. Participants who wish to receive CPR recertification can opt for an official certification with a $25 donation. Otherwise, the training is completely free, and drop-ins are encouraged. The sessions last approximately two hours, providing a practical and efficient way for community members to gain emergency response skills.
