The Amherst Bear is a nonprofit, printed monthly community newspaper that celebrates our town, connects our neighbors, and strengthens community pride. Each issue is mailed for free to every Amherst home & business, sharing reliable local news, uplifting stories, and practical resources for residents of all ages.

 

The Amherst Bear offers a trusted, positive space focused on the people, events, issues, and stories that make Amherst a truly special place to live. Together, we’re building a community newspaper that keeps Amherst informed, connected, and proud of its local story.
