Put Patch to Work: Learn How to Post Events, Announcements and Blogs

Did we mention it's free?

Are you looking to get the word out about a community event or an accomplishment? Or maybe you’ve just got something on your mind. Brookhaven Patch can help.

Tired of making signs for your yard sale or bake sale by hand? Enter Patch Events. You can post events to the site for free. Navigate to the Events page and click “Add an Event” on the right side of the page. Tell us all the details about your upcoming event, then click “post my event” at the bottom of the page.

Patch pulls events from the calendar for postings like The Weekender. It’s a great way to let the community know what’s going on at your church, business or school.

Simply click the Announcement option under the News tab on the homepage. On the right side of the screen you’ll see the button “Add an Announcement.” This will you take you to Patch’s new announcement form. Once there, get your brag on and tell the community all about your son’s big Little League win or your civic club’s new members. When you’re ready, click “publish my announcement” and it will go live to the site immediately!
