In a world of lies and fake news, Bellport.com, now in its 15th year, remains your source for accurate local news and information, but we need your help. Our advertisers are great, but the fact remains that Bellport.com operates at a significant loss every year and is only able to continue because we support it out of our own pockets. Your subscribing for only 10 cents a day would make a big difference.

It’s a shame, but only a tiny number of our readers actually help support Bellport.com financially by becoming Bellport.com Subscribers. It’s time for you to consider stepping up and becoming a Bellport.com Subscriber for 2019 so that we can continue to support our community with news and information. Your help, by subscribing to Bellport.com for only 10 cents a day, that’s only $36.50 for the entire year, can be a big help in keeping Bellport.com going. If you can afford $50 or $100 for the year, that’s great, but if you can only afford $25, that will be appreciated too.

As usual, if you subscribe for at least $36.50 for the year, you’ll receive FREE Classified Ad Services for the entire year, including photos. If you place just one Classified Ad during the year, this service alone will pay for your subscription!
