Support Local News — One Subscription at a Time
The Brownsville Times has launched a community-wide subscription drive with a goal of 800 print subscribers and 200 single-copy sales. Volunteers are visiting homes across Brownsville, Tangent, Crawfordsville, Shedd, and Halsey to thank current readers and encourage new ones to join.
You can also “Pay It Forward” by donating a subscription to a senior in need. Just $96 provides a full year of connection and local news.
Visit us at 343 N. Main Street (9–12 weekdays, until 4 on Thursdays), subscribe online below, or email [email protected] to get involved.

Want to get involved or stay connected? Subscribe, volunteer, advertise, or spread the word. The Brownsville Times is back, and it’s here to stay.

Important Note About Your Subscription:
We use Zeffy to manage our subscriptions because it’s a 100% free platform for nonprofits like us — meaning we don’t pay any processing fees!
When you subscribe, Zeffy may ask if you’d like to leave them a donation. This is completely optional — you can set it to $0 if you prefer.
Thank you for your support!

With a jolt of grassroots energy and a shockingly strong dose of community spirit, The Brownsville Times is alive once more! Thanks to the lifeblood of the Central Linn community — our readers, writers, advertisers, and donors — we’ve been resuscitated with heart and humor. Like in the illustration above, it was the “Brownsville Community” who wielded the paddles and yelled “Clear!” — and now here we are, grinning on the gurney, full of stories and stronger than ever. Thank you for believing in our revival — we promise to keep the pulse of our towns beating proudly.
