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.

Tabitha’s Table has spent over a decade ensuring that no neighbor goes hungry, operating on a tight schedule of twice-monthly distributions and special holiday deliveries. Organizers are especially seeking soup, canned beans and spaghetti sauce—versatile staples that can stretch into multiple meals—while supplies of canned vegetables currently remain healthy. Recent donations of laundry and dishwasher detergent have helped, but the pantry still struggles to keep some basic non-food essentials like toilet paper in stock.
Each month, Tabitha’s Table teams load two pickup trucks to deliver food to 30–40 households in Smithsburg and send a third truck on 25 deliveries to Cascade. On the fourth Tuesday, up to 75 families walk through the pantry to collect an average of 100 pounds of food each—an essential supplement to grocery shopping for many. Holiday distributions at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter further extend support, though dates may shift around those celebrations.
