Help Keep Your Community Informed On Patch

Dear neighbors,

Patch believes that local news and information have the power to unite a community. We also believe in giving neighbors the power to tell their own stories and keep each other informed about what’s happening at the local level.

As a loyal Patch reader, we’re inviting you to add your own insights and unique perspective to your local Neighbor Posts section.

Here are some ways you can help keep your community informed and empowered:

✓ Seeing or hearing something, like local wildlife or inspiring sidewalk art or a parade passing by? Post a news tip
✓ Give a shoutout to a kind neighbor or local business serving the community
✓ Upload a photo of a beautiful or powerful moment in town
✓ Share information about local services, resources, business openings and more

Click here to create your post.

For inspiration, here are some recent examples of great local news tips, shoutouts, photos and other community info posted by neighbors in Patch communities across America.

We can’t wait to see what you share. Patch values and celebrates neighbor contributions, and aims to create an inclusive community discussion space with a zero-tolerance policy for racist, sexist or aggressive language. Read our Community Guidelines here.

We also encourage you to invite any neighbors who you don’t currently see represented on Patch to join the local conversation.
