Patch 101: Patch Gives Back to the Community

One perk of working at Patch is the opportunity to give back to the community through the Give 5 program. In addition to the day-to-day coverage of our towns, Give 5 allows employees to volunteer five days throughout the year.

If you're in need of volunteers, create an or add an to our calendar to raise awareness. If there's a great cause that you think editor Joe Hart should dedicate a future Give 5 day to, send an e-mail to joe.hart@patch.com with information.

Additionally, Patch gives 5 percent of advertising space to local charities and non-profits free of charge as part of the Give 5 program. To see if you qualify for free ad space, contact us.
