Connect With Your Neighbors on the San Rafael Patch Boards

Use this tool to find information or get things done around San Rafael.

Are there times that you are looking for a quick way to get the word out about something to your entire community?  

Maybe you saw a street sign that needed to be replaced, or had a question about a new store opening around town. You may also have an announcement to make about your school’s bake sale or your street’s yard sale.

Boards on San Rafael Patch are a great way to alert the town about whatever you need to say.

Patch boards are like the bulletin board at your community center or local coffee shop. They're a great place to post when you're seeking music lessons, want to share an update on your business or need to let your neighbors know about an upcoming celebration. You can also use the boards to ask your neighbors a question or to start a local conversation.

Ready to get started? Here’s how:

From the top of the homepage or any article page, type what you want to say in the box on the right that says “Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something.” Choose a category and click “Post.” It’s that easy! Upload a photo if you want to get snazzy.

The post will appear on the homepage and the Boards section of the site. You can also go to the Boards section to see what others are posting about.

You have a few boards to choose from:

Anyone can comment on your board post with a question or an idea, so it’s easy to interact with your neighbors. Think of Patch as the virtual town square, the community bulletin board, the school PA system, a place to share ideas and ask questions. 

And with all that visibility, your post is guaranteed to be seen by the people that matter in your town!
