What that means is that you'll be supporting the station with a monthly contribution. This could be $10 a month, $15, $20 . . . whatever fits your budget. You can have your contribution taken out of your checking account every month, or you can use a credit card.
If you appreciate community-focused radio 24 hours a day, seven days a week, consider a donation 12 months a year. To make your pledge, call 603-430-9722 or visit us online.

Do you like using fresh, picked-right-off-the-vine fruits and vegetables in your meals? If you call your pledge in to Portsmouth Community Radio at 603-430-9722, pledge online, or mail in a donation by June 27, you could win a weekly supply of fresh fruits and vegetables provided by Heron Pond Farm.
Throughout the summer, you will own a weekly share of Heron Pond Farm's harvest, valued at $550. You will be able to pick up your produce at any of four convenient locations on the Seacoast, including the Portsmouth Farmer's Market. Heron Pond Farm is part of CSA, "Consumer Supported Agriculture," which is a farmer-consumer partnership that helps small farms stay successful.
