Everyone at Montana Free Press wishes you a wonderful holiday as our reporters take a well deserved break to spend the next few days with friends and family. As you know, the news never stops, but we plan to be here for the long haul, so we’re resting this holiday weekend. The ability for a news organization to give its staff time off like this is rare, and it is due in part to your support. So we’ll be back at it on Monday — bringing the news you need — with fresh eyes and even more heart. This Thanksgiving, we are thankful for your membership.
If you have the capacity to make an additional contribution, know that your donation this holiday season will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $1,000.) Will you add to your support of independent, community-focused journalism?

No shouting. No name calling. Just local Montana reporters working for you.
