About [Edit]
A Time Bank is a group of individuals and organizations who agree to spend and earn Time Dollars. A Time Dollar is something you earn when you help a neighbor for one hour. Our mission is to use Time Dollars as a tool for creating vibrant, safe, inclusive neighborhoods; for empowering individuals; for increasing the quality of life for community members; and to facilitate the distribution of power, access and voice in our society.
We serve low income individuals by providing a way for them to meet their needs. By reconnecting neighbors to each other, people are able to secure childcare, transportation, plumbing, oil changes, housecleaning, and art classes all without money.
A thriving Time Bank increases civic engagement. Individuals who traditionally feel disenfranchised and barred from community participation realize their own power to contribute to their neighborhood; they feel valued and realize they have a voice.
