60 SoDu Neighbors Strong

Help Tell South Durham’s Stories

Southpoint Access should reflect the people who live here. I’d love to help you add your voice to it.

Sixty neighbors have now contributed $2,216.98 to the Southpoint Access 100 Neighbors for Local News campaign.

That puts us:

• 60% of the way toward our 100-neighbor goal
• 44.3% of the way toward our $5,000 fundraising goal
• Just $283.02 away from reaching $2,500

The campaign continues through Sept. 22, my birthday. Contributions help Southpoint Access pay freelance reporters, cover public records and research expenses, and produce more original journalism about South Durham.

If Southpoint Access helps you keep up with schools, development, businesses, public safety, local government, events, and your neighbors, please consider joining the campaign.

A gift of $10, $25, $50, or whatever works for you will move us closer.

Already contributed? Thank you. Sharing this post with another South Durham neighbor helps, too.
