Dear Reader –

At the heart of Oakland County Times is our mission to bring quality journalism to communities that often get overlooked.

We’re committed to delivering news that informs, inspires, and connects – with no room for clickbait or division.

Unlike other news outlets, we don’t hide our content behind paywalls or require subscriptions. This commitment to accessibility means we depend on those who appreciate our work to financially support it.

Discover more about our mission on our Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/oc115) and consider joining our cause with a monthly pledge.

Contributions help with business expenses such as paying our freelance writers and student interns, technology access, transportation, and other costs of making Oakland County Times come together. Your pledge also helps keep the website accessible to everyone.

Thank you for standing with us in the pursuit of quality community journalism.  Hope to see you on Patreon!

Sincerely,
Crystal Proxmire
Editor and Publisher
Oakland County Times.
