Remember The Hardwick Gazette

Greetings on this day after Thanksgiving which I hope found you with people to be thankful for.

We have a unique opportunity to ensure The Gazette’s future. Right now, you can double the impact of your gift. National funders and local benefactors are matching donations during The Gazette’s end-of-year campaign. 

Your gift of up to $1,000 will be doubled. If you become a monthly recurring contributor, your first year’s donations will be doubled, up to that same $1,000 limit ($83/month). 

On this Black Friday, with Giving Tuesday coming up next week, many Vermonters are facing food and housing insecurity. The need is great. Food shelves and other providers are under great stress. 

They need your help.

So does The Gazette, which keeps you informed about how our communities are dealing with the impact of decisions made far away. 

This is a vital moment for your local newspaper.

With so much uncertainty, so many unmet needs in our communities, when you’re planning your year-end giving, donating to worthy causes, please include The Gazette on your list. 

If not your first, make us your second gift to continue The Gazette’s 139 year legacy as the only news source dedicated exclusively to our communities. 

Your support is vital to continue providing the news and information you need. 

Thank you for being a reader, for your trust in The Gazette and for your financial support. 

We can’t do this without you.
