“Together, we can protect the future of local news in Steele County.”

Dear neighbors,

Steele County is home. It’s where we work, raise our families, and look out for one another. That’s what the Steele County Times is all about - keeping our community connected through honest, local reporting you can trust.

Steele County is also where our heart is. And with your help, we’ll keep it beating strong.

Every week, we show up to cover the stories that matter the most - the school board decisions, the county fair champions, the volunteers who make a quiet difference. These are the stories that remind us who we are.

We’re proud that local news is alive and well here in Steele County. With your help, we can keep it that way and continue to tell the stories that matter most to our neighbors - all while never cutting corners on the coverage you trust.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Report for America, a nonprofit that helps communities like ours keep local news alive. Through this partnership, you can now make tax-deductible donations to support the Times. Every dollar will support our local reporters and keep them equipped to cover the stories that matter here at home. None of it goes to overhead or profit.

Supporting the Steele County Times means keeping our community informed, connected, and proud. When you invest in local news, you invest in Steele County’s future.

If you believe in this vision too, I hope you’ll consider helping us continue it. You can donate at www.steelecountytimes.com or scan the QR code below.

Thank you for standing with us and for believing in the value of local news — and in Steele County.

With appreciation,

Rick Bussler
