Everything you need to know about featuring your family and how Your Neighborhood works.
Your Neighborhood is a community platform that celebrates local families and connects them with family-friendly businesses. Each week, we spotlight a family from your town, sharing their unique story, traditions, and what makes them special. Our mission is to strengthen communities by helping neighbors get to know each other through authentic, heartfelt stories.
Your Neighborhood was founded in 2026 by a team passionate about local communities. We're based in Pennsylvania and started by featuring families in our own backyard. Our small but dedicated team includes writers, photographers, and community advocates who believe every family has a story worth sharing.
We're growing thoughtfully! We launched in Pennsylvania in early 2026 and are expanding state by state to ensure quality storytelling in each region. Rather than spreading thin, we're building a strong foundation before expanding. Want us in your state sooner? Let us know—community interest helps us prioritize where to expand next!
The $5 fee helps us create high-quality, professional content for every featured family. This small investment covers professional writing and editing of your family's story, photography coordination and image optimization, permanent placement on our platform, social media promotion across our channels, and ongoing platform maintenance. We keep the fee low because our goal is celebrating communities, not making profit.
Your $5 feature fee includes:
Yes! Browsing and reading family stories is completely free. We offer optional paid memberships for those who want to support the platform and get extra features like early access to new stories and exclusive content. But you'll never be locked out of reading about the families in your community.
Every family that pays the feature fee will be featured—we don't pick and choose. Our goal is to celebrate all families, not just certain types. After you submit your nomination and payment, we'll reach out within 48 hours to start the process. Features are published on a first-come, first-served basis, typically within 2-4 weeks.
Here's what to expect:
Absolutely! Every featured family gets to review and approve their story before it goes live. You can request edits, update photos, or ask for changes. We want you to be proud of your feature. Even after publishing, you can contact us anytime to make updates or request removal.
Yes. We only publish information you explicitly approve. Your contact details (email, phone, address) are never shared publicly. Payments are processed securely through Stripe—we never see or store your credit card information. Read our full Privacy Policy for complete details.
Yes, you can request removal at any time by contacting us. We'll remove your story within 48 hours, no questions asked. Your comfort and privacy are our priority.
We're here to help! Reach out and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
