Love Your Neighborhood? Contribute To Patch

You know Patch is the most informative, up-to-date place to find news and events happening in your area. But did you know how many things you can do to make it even better?

No one knows more about your neighborhood than the people who live there. That's why the Patch Team provides residents a direct way to connect to the community. As a member of that community, we want to let you in on what you can do as a registered Patch user.

All you have to do to get started is sign up for a Patch account. Once you're Patched in, you can contribute to your Patch community news, because if it's happening in your city, Patch wants to tell people about it. Here are four ways you can do that:

Share Neighborhood News

You can share local news, photos, videos and more by posting announcements on Patch. Whether you're looking for a lost pet, excited for a store opening or looking to sell a piece of furniture, you can announce it on Patch. You can even choose to share a Patch announcement to nearby Patches along with your own if you want to reach a wider audience. Post an announcement on Patch

Invite The Community To An Event

Have you checked out the Patch calendar? This is the place to find out what's happening in your town, and registered Patch users can post as many events as they'd like. It's the best way to get the word out about an upcoming event so members of the community can attend. Post an event on the Patch calendar

List A Job

If you're hiring for a full-time, part-time or seasonal position, posting your job listing to Patch is a surefire way to get it seen by potential applicants. Unlike those big, anonymous job sites with listings from all over, the Patch Job Board only shows job openings in your area. Post a job listing on Patch

Promote Your Posts To Get The Word Out

Want to guarantee you're the talk of the town? You can feature any one of your posts on Patch to get more eyes on it. Patch featured events, announcements and jobs posts are an affordable and easy way to promote your posts to your neighbors and to residents of nearby towns.
