Everyone Has A Story: Patch Wants To Hear Yours For This New Feature

Everyone has a story, and everyone is interesting. We want to hear about you for a new feature, Patch People, that reflects our mission to strengthen communities through local news, conversations and connections.

Patch People will explore the stories of the people who live in the communities we serve. Your story may be one of strength or love, or regret and redemption. It could be about a seminal experience that served as a catalyst for profound and lasting change.

It may be about the challenges of raising children, making ends meet, or obstacles and opportunities. Or it could be about an interesting job, hobby, passion or cause.

Those examples are just guidelines. You may want to talk about something entirely different, and that’s OK. Our goal is to connect people through relatable stories that showcase the diverse lives of Patch readers.
