Front Porch Forum hosts online newsletters in every town in Vermont. Neighbors, nonprofits, businesses, and government officials can post messages, share news, get advice, make recommendations, announce events, sell items, and much more. It's all about helping neighbors to connect and build community.


Each week, one posting is selected for its humor, storytelling, or community-building, and then shared throughout the state. And, now you can read it here in The Bridge Weekly.



Isobel turned to neighbors in her Burlington Forum with an invitation. We thought it was well worth a share:


"I've been missing some of the intergenerational friendships I had back where I used to live, and I'd love to make more connections with folks here — especially any older neighbors who might appreciate a hand or some company.


If you (or someone you know) could use help walking a dog, running a small errand, or simply want someone to chat with over tea or a walk, I'd be glad to lend a hand or an ear! I'm 25, live in your neighborhood, and have a flexible schedule!"
