Community

A Time Bank is a community of people who support each other. When you spend an hour to do something for an individual or group, you earn a “time credit.” Then, you can use that “time credit” to buy an hour of a neighbor’s time or engage in a group activity offered by a neighbor. It’s that simple. Yet it also has profound effects. You get to know your neighbors and friends and build an old-fashioned extended family of people who take care of each other. A Time Bank changes a whole community. Bring a dish to share and learn about the Care and Share Time Bank.
