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!
Anstead, who began her career with the Maryland Air National Guard in 2017 as an aerospace medical service specialist, transitioned into recruiting with a mission to make a deeper impact on both her fellow Airmen and the surrounding community. Her commitment to outreach, especially among underserved populations, mirrors the values of the award, which commemorates the legacy of a recruiter who fought terminal cancer with tenacity and optimism.
Beyond the training classroom, Anstead has quickly become a driving force in the local recruitment mission, already working with multiple new recruits and expanding the Air Guard’s visibility through community partnerships. The 175th Wing’s recruiting team, known for its involvement in initiatives like Meals on Wheels and STEM education, has twice won national team leadership honors, further elevating Maryland’s profile within the Air National Guard.

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?
The recognition not only highlights Anstead’s individual accomplishments but also underscores the strength of Maryland’s Air Guard recruitment strategy, which combines personal mentorship with grassroots community engagement. Residents in the Middle River and Baltimore areas can expect to see increased outreach and opportunities to learn about careers in the Air Guard as Anstead and her team continue to grow their presence.
