Nominate a neighbor, share a milestone, or send a news tip

Know a neighbor or local business in the East Bay who won an award, reached a milestone, has a fascinating craft, or quietly stepped up for the community? Nominate them for a Neighbors & Milestones feature—or send our editors a story tip.

Every submission is reviewed by our editors before anything is published. Your email stays private, and submitting does not subscribe you to a newsletter.

Help neighbors get to know the people and shopkeepers around them. Choose a story angle below. When our editors pick up a nomination, we reach out to the nominee to let them know a neighbor nominated them and invite them to answer 3–4 quick questions for a Community Kudos & Milestones brief or a full Neighbor & Local Business Spotlight article.
