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?
Residents seeking assistance are advised that most food banks are open to all Washington County residents. It is recommended to bring identification and proof of address when possible, although specific eligibility requirements and operating hours can vary by location, necessitating a call ahead to confirm details. Beyond grocery assistance, several churches and community centers also provide meal programs offering hot meals. The county’s comprehensive resource directory also includes organizations that offer additional support, such as personal care products, clothing, and household items. For those interested in contributing, opportunities to volunteer time or donate goods are available through these local organizations. Washington County Government emphasizes its ongoing commitment to keeping residents informed about the resources available to them. For urgent needs or further questions, residents are encouraged to contact the Washington County Community Action Council directly at 301-797-4161, or to consult the full list of local resources.
