Get Involved
The Applegater has always been more than a newsmagazine;
it's a community effort. Every story, photo, donation, and volunteer hour is what keeps this publication free, independent, and in every mailbox across the valley. Whether you have five dollars, five hours, or five hundred words to give, there's a place for you here.
Volunteer
The Applegater runs on community energy. From copy editing and photography to board service and distribution, there are many
ways to contribute your time and talents. If you love the Applegater
and want to help shape its future, we'd love to hear from you.
Submit a Piece or Photo
You don't need to be a professional writer or photographer to appear in these pages—you just need a story worth telling. We publish original work from Applegate community members every season on topics ranging from local news and nature to arts, history, and opinion.
Donate
For over 32 years, the Applegater has been free to every household in
the valley. That's only possible because readers like you chip in. Every contribution — large or small — goes directly toward keeping local journalism alive in the Applegate.
