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%?

The new facility, located at 75 Lawson Road, SE, will provide a variety of services including therapy session support, social groups for teens, summer camps, and hands-on experiences with trained therapy dogs. Each program is led by trained professionals and includes at least one certified therapy animal. The organization aims to enhance traditional therapy approaches by using the proven benefits of animal interactions.
Heeling House is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and operates on the belief that the human-animal bond can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children facing physical, emotional, or developmental challenges. With the opening of the Leesburg location, the group hopes to become an integral part of the local support network for families seeking alternative and supplemental therapeutic resources.
