Tweet to Help Hurricane Sandy Victims

For every tweet that uses the hashtag #PatchRebuilds, Patch will donate $1 to AmeriCares for hurricane relief.

Patch & AOL Send Hurricane Sandy Relief Trucks to New Jersey, Long Island

Employees help out, and you can, too

It's been said it's far better to have a neighbor who's near, than a brother who's far away, but in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Americans across the nation have proven to be the best neighbors and the strongest of families. Last weekend, AOL and Patch employees took an opportunity to pitch in, packing two tractor trailers worth of food, water and supplies in Dulles, VA, and Baltimore. The donations are headed to Hurricane Sandy ravaged areas in New Jersey and Long Island. Want to join the relief efforts? Click here to donate: https://donate.networkforgood.org/aol "When a catastrophe of this size hits, we all feel it, both the hundreds of us who live in the impacted towns, and our colleagues who are watching and wishing they could help …

Why Does Norton Patch Look Different?

Site undergoes some minor cosmetic changes.

No, you're not losing it! Patch looks different today. We did a quick visual nip-and-tuck to the homepage to make it even more user-friendly. And we've moved a couple pieces of furniture. For those keeping score:  * We tweaked some words in our navigation bar to save space (e.g., "Traffic & Gas" is now "Commute")  * We moved the weather icon next to the Patch branding so you can find it more quickly!  * We moved, well, YOU closer to the top! (Our "shout stream" is now front and center to show all your comments off.)  * And of course we prettified a few things.  While the site might look a little different today, we still offer the same robust coverage of everything happening in your community. That was, is, and will always be our mission. …
