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%?

COIPP, a nonprofit serving the Frederick region for over 16 years, provides essential resources and services to children impacted by parental incarceration. Maryland is home to over 90,000 children with an incarcerated parent, many of whom face significant challenges such as emotional distress, academic struggles, and economic instability. The artwork featured in the exhibition reflects the experiences of children ages two to twelve, who participated in an activity organized by COIPP. Their work offers insight into their lives and the challenges they navigate.
The Transformative Arts Project, led by Dr. Laura Sherwood and the Frederick Youth Council, empowered youth ages 12 to 24 to use the Photovoice method to capture images and narratives reflecting their communities. Photovoice enables participants to use photography as a storytelling and advocacy tool, highlighting the challenges and strengths within their environments. This segment of the exhibit provides a platform for young people to contribute meaningfully to discussions that affect their communities.
