“I am reading Digger sitting in my warm cozy house with my wood stove cranking out heat. I will be happy to imagine other readers doing the same.”Member from Ludlow, VTDear reader,We are in the final days of our joint news and firewood drive. We still believe we can send 15 cords of firewood by Dec. 25. Help us shine a light on the facts and spread warmth this holiday season with a year-end gift that does double duty.Donate & send warmthVTDigger’s reporters work around the clock to bring you public service reporting with impact, like our full disclosure series which spurred more robust financial disclosure requirements for legislators. We bring you deep, original investigations that make you ask more questions, like Shaun Robinson’s on how the federal government has quietly built three surveillance towers along the Canadian border. Our journalists get to the bottom of what’s really happening, like Housing Reporter Carly Berlin’s data dive into the pervasive myth that Vermont is a “magnet” state for unsheltered people. All of this reporting takes days — sometimes weeks or even months — of research, source interviews, fact checking and editing. VTDigger provides it free of charge, to ensure everyone has equal access to the truth. But it takes significant resources to produce. Your support ensures that we can keep telling these stories. Plus, for every 80 members who donate, Wood4Good can deliver one cord of wood — enough for 4 weeks of heat — to a family in need.Donate & send warmthIf you can, please consider becoming a sustaining member at a level that works for you.
