Helping Neighbors Connect

Front Porch Forum is a free community-building service. Your neighborhood's forum is only open to the people who live there. It's all about helping neighbors connect.
So far, 28 people from Weathersfield have requested this free service, but until we have 50 (22 to go!), our town cannot be "Switched ON."

What is Front Porch Forum?

FPF is in the business of helping neighbors connect and build community. Since 2006, we’ve been hosting regional networks of online neighborhood forums where clearly identified nearby neighbors share postings about all sorts of topics.

Why does FPF need my street address?

Your street name (but not your house/apt. number) is revealed to your nearby neighbors when you submit a posting to FPF.
