The Sheffield Community Bulletin Board at SheffieldSCNews.com is a neighborhood gathering place where
Sheffield residents, families, local businesses, organizations, and community members can share information that
matters.
Have a local business you want your neighbors to know about? Post it here.
Looking for a reliable landscaper, handyman, babysitter, tutor, house cleaner, dog walker, mechanic, or other local
service? Tell the community what you need.
Did your dog or cat get out? Post a lost-pet alert.
Found someone else’s pet wandering through the neighborhood? Help get that animal home.

Holding a garage sale? Looking to sell a bicycle? Searching for something hard to find? Organizing a neighborhood event? Offering a service? Looking for recommendations?
This board is for you.
The goal is simple: give Sheffield and the surrounding community one convenient place to communicate, advertise, help each other, and stay connected.
Small businesses are an important part of every community, and Sheffield residents regularly need dependable local companies and service providers.
The Community Bulletin Board provides an opportunity for local businesses to introduce themselves directly to people who live in the area.
Businesses and independent professionals may submit announcements about services such as:
You don’t have to be a large company.
Independent contractors, family businesses, home-based businesses, entrepreneurs, and people starting a new local business are welcome to let the community know what they offer.
A good business announcement should include your business name, a brief explanation of your services, the general area you serve, and a safe way for interested customers to contact you.
Sometimes you don’t know who to call.
That is exactly where a community bulletin board can help.
Maybe you need someone to repair a fence.
Maybe you are looking for a math tutor.
Maybe you need recommendations for a veterinarian.
Maybe you need someone to cut your grass while you’re away.
Or perhaps you are searching for a particular item that somebody in the neighborhood has sitting unused in a garage.
Post what you’re looking for and give your neighbors an opportunity to help.
Examples might include:
“Looking for a reliable local handyman.”
“Does anyone know a good appliance repair company?”
“Looking for someone who can tutor high-school algebra.”
“Wanted: used bicycle in good condition.”
“Looking for recommendations for a local dog groomer.”
One neighbor’s question may have an answer sitting three houses away.

Few things create more panic for a family than discovering that a pet is missing.
The Sheffield Community Bulletin Board can be used to quickly spread the word about lost and found animals throughout the neighborhood and surrounding area.
If your pet is missing, provide as much useful information as possible, including:
If you find a pet, you can also post a notice without publicly revealing every identifying detail. That allows the legitimate owner to provide identifying information when contacting you.
When a lost pet comes home, let us know so the community can celebrate the good news and the alert can be updated.
The faster information gets out, the better the chance of bringing a missing pet home.
Having a garage sale or yard sale?
Tell Sheffield.
Post the date, general location, hours, and some of the items people can expect to find.
Furniture, tools, children’s clothing, toys, electronics, sporting equipment, household items, collectibles, decorations and dozens of other items can find a second home without ever leaving the community.
Neighborhood-wide sales and multi-family sales are welcome too.
The bulletin board can also help neighbors connect over everyday items.
You might have something another Sheffield resident needs, including furniture, exercise equipment, bicycles, tools, lawn equipment, household goods, children’s items, collectibles, appliances, or other merchandise.
You may also post WANTED announcements when you’re searching for something.
For everyone’s protection, buyers and sellers are responsible for conducting their own transactions and determining whether an item, price, buyer, or seller is legitimate.
Never publish sensitive financial information on the bulletin board.
Know about something happening in or around Sheffield?
Tell everyone.
The Community Bulletin Board can feature announcements for:
The bulletin board isn’t limited to major events.
Sometimes a small neighborhood activity is exactly the kind of information people want but never hear about until it is over.
Need an extra set of hands?
Residents can post legitimate local help-wanted announcements.
That could include someone looking for occasional yard help, a babysitter, pet sitter, caregiver, tutor, house cleaner, administrative help, or someone to assist with a small project.
People offering legitimate services may also introduce themselves.
Students and young adults looking for neighborhood work may be able to advertise appropriate services such as lawn mowing, leaf cleanup, tutoring, pet sitting, dog walking, or other community jobs, subject to applicable laws and parental supervision where appropriate.
Not every post needs to involve money.
Sometimes someone simply needs help.
A resident may be searching for information about a lost package, trying to identify the owner of something found in the neighborhood, asking whether anyone else lost power, looking for volunteers, or trying to connect an abandoned item with its owner.
The Community Bulletin Board can help Sheffield residents communicate without every issue turning into an official neighborhood matter.
Community works better when neighbors can talk to neighbors.
Some of the best information in any neighborhood comes directly from the people who live there.
Who repaired your air conditioner and did a great job?
Who built your fence?
Who takes care of your lawn?
Where is a great nearby restaurant?
Who is a reliable plumber?
Where can someone donate furniture?
Who does good auto repair nearby?
Where is the closest place to get a particular service?
Residents can use the bulletin board to ask questions and share useful recommendations based on their own experiences.
Businesses are welcome to identify themselves when responding, but commercial relationships should be disclosed rather than presented as independent recommendations.
The board can also be used for non-emergency neighborhood information such as:
For an actual emergency, crime in progress, fire, medical emergency, or immediate threat to someone’s safety,residents should contact the appropriate emergency authorities rather than relying on the bulletin board.
We want the Sheffield Community Bulletin Board to remain useful, credible, and safe.
Submissions may be rejected or removed when they contain unlawful material, threats, harassment, scams, knowingly false information, impersonation, obscene material, discriminatory attacks, private personal information, or content that could endanger another person.
Do not publish Social Security numbers, financial account information, passwords, access codes, medical records, driver’s-license numbers, or other sensitive personal information.
If you’re selling an item or meeting someone you don’t know, use common sense. Choose a safe meeting location when appropriate and independently verify who you are dealing with.
