Calling all Ardsley, Hastings, Dobbs Ferry and Irvington residents:

When The Rivertowns Enterprise folded in 2024, many of us felt suddenly disconnected from what was happening in Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley, and Irvington.
Thankfully, The Rivertowns Dispatch stepped in—and we need to support it.

Did you hear about a 280,000 square foot warehouse on 9A?

I recently learned through The Dispatch about a proposed 280,000-sq-ft warehouse on Route 9A that could seriously impact traffic and quality of life. Many residents haven’t heard about it simply because they’re not subscribers. To see the Letter to the Editor and more details, go to my blog post at https://www.beverlyshipko.com/its-important-subscribe-to.../

🗞️ Local news matters. Information is power.

As we head into 2026, The Dispatch needs a strong subscriber base to thrive.

I invite you to donate to World Central Kitchen who is feeding people in LA displaced by the LA fires.

While my brother and son are fortunate to have homes that are still standing in the decimated Altadena/Pasadena area, thousands aren't so lucky. They need our help.

Sending healing prayers to everyone affected, and the strength to rebuild.

Your donation will help to provide fresh meals for those in need after disasters, and build long-term resilience in affected communities.
