How Do I Give Back to My Community?

Share and find your local volunteering and philanthropic opportunities here.

During the holiday season, thoughts tend to turn toward giving back and how to help the community.

Because need exists all year long, we've created a space for people to share charitable opportunities and organizations that need assistance — during the holiday season and throughout the year.

Here's some examples of what you can share: 

  • Fundraisers
  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Charitable events or drives
  • A call for volunteers

If you know of an opportunity to give back, share it in our Giving Back section. Whether it's a bake sale, fundraiser to help an ailing friend with medical bills or a coat drive, that's your go-to place to share causes that need help! 

Here's how to post:
  1. Sign in to your free Patch account (or use your Facebook account).
  2. Visit the Giving Back in Southbury section.
  3. Click "Write a new post."
  4. Give your post a solid headline, text and, if possible, add a photo to jazz it up a bit. (This will also make it easier for us to share your post!)
