Neighbor Helen wants to hear from you

No, really! We rely on local folks sharing their stories to write our features

Tell Your Story

We love stories about:

  • What it’s like to grow up here

  • Your memory or connection to a place/person you see as central to the community

  • A recent struggle of yours that is reflective of what the wider community is going through

Nominate Someone Else

Everyone has a great story to tell, but sometimes we need a little extra encouragement from someone who knows us well.

We’ll reach out to the person you have in mind & let them know you sent us.

Check up on someone

We’ve checked up on neighbors after snow storms, tornadoes, surgeries, tragic losses, lay offs…you name it.

This is some of the most important work we do, as it fosters the kind of community bonds we all rely on when life throws us a curveball

Got a story? Or know someone who does?
