You may know more about your community than you think! Do any of these sound like you?

• You belong to your building’s tenant association or a neighborhood group
• You know about services offered by your local church, food bank, etc.
• You often attend city council or school district meetings
• You’re a connoisseur of local museums, restaurants, street art, hiking trails, etc.
• You take long walks or drives around your neighborhood and sometimes catch stuff on camera

If so, consider sharing your local know-how in the Neighbor Posts section of your Patch community. You can be a vital source of information for your community.

Please read our Community Guidelines and see the Patch Posting Instructions for more information about what to post where. Need inspiration? Here are some posting ideas to get you started.
