Patch USVI Launches With Free News You Can Use

U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS — The U.S. Virgin Islands Patch has launched!

Maybe you’ve heard about Patch and you already know what we do, but maybe you’re wondering, "Huh? What is Patch?"

Patch provides quick, accurate and helpful local news. We specialize in what’s going on in our backyard.

Patch USVI will provide up-to-the-minute, breaking local news that aims to make your day easier. Our mantra is “News You Can Use.” Where can you get the coronavirus vaccine? Why are you hearing police sirens around the corner? What summer camps are available for local kids? Where can I find a good babysitter?

All of that information will soon be found on the USVI Patch.

Start your day with the latest headlines delivered straight to your inbox. Sign up here.

And follow Patch USVI on Facebook to get the latest, breaking headlines.

Patch reaches more than 36 million subscribers across the U.S. and Patch USVI aims to inform both residents and visitors. We’re proud to join the ranks of The Virgin Islands Daily News and The Virgin Islands Consortium. They’re great at covering the big stuff, we’re great at letting you know what road is under construction, what’s going on with the barges, and what's up with those J&J vaccines.

To do this, we rely on you. Patch thrives on community engagement and we’d love to hear your tips, stories and ideas.

If you have a news tip or feedback, contact Ashleigh at ashleigh.baldwin@patch.com.

All of our content is free, so you’ll never be prompted to pay. And while we welcome donations to keep Patch running, we are primarily a community site that relies on the support of local businesses.
