Help your neighbor - Form
Entry form
The News Tribune is establishing an online database for readers to consult if they are seeking ways to give of themselves this holiday season -- and beyond. Fill out this online form, and we will reverse-publish as many charitable efforts as we can into the daily paper during the holidays.

Note: The purpose is NOT to provide publicity for in-house charities (i.e., a service club collecting items only from its members) or fund-raisers that benefit the members themselves (i.e., raising money for a band trip or sports tournament). The purpose is to enable our community to help their hurting neighbor or stranger.

The News Tribune retains approval authority before your information is uploaded onto the live database.

For questions, comments or suggestions, send an e-mail to newstips@thenewstribune.com
