Dear reader,

So close!

As the year ends, WHAV remains a bit behind its annual appeal fundraising goal—the amount minimally needed to cover ever-important local news in the months ahead.
You’re reading this newsletter and listening to the radio because you know how critical it is to remain connected to the community and “in the know.” You also realize WHAV provides more local news, more news that matters and more often than other sources. In fact, WHAV is Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service.

If you’re not already a member or donor, please consider a monthly WHAV membership by clicking here. There are also a variety of other giving options.

If you prefer to send a check, make checks payable to WHAV and mail to:
