One year ago, MercerMe brought on its first full-time editor.

That investment transformed our reporting. It is now more consistent, more thorough, and more present where decisions are made. It means showing up, staying with issues over time, and helping people in Hopewell Valley understand what is happening and why it matters.
From water infrastructure to school district decisions, from local development to community concerns, this kind of reporting takes time, attention, and commitment.
It only happens because of support, and it can only continue with that support. If this work matters to you, become a supporter.
Advertising no longer covers the cost of local reporting. At MercerMe, about one third of revenue comes from people in this community who choose to support the work, with a little more than 400 people currently part of that base. That support makes consistent, independent coverage in Hopewell Valley possible.
This week, MercerMe is asking the community to help reach 450 supporters. For those who value this work, becoming a supporter is what allows it to continue. Ongoing contributions, monthly or yearly, provide the consistency this reporting requires.
If you already support MercerMe, thank you — you’re making this work possible.
If you don’t, now is the time to become a supporter and help ensure this reporting continues.
