ONE HOUR HELPING
SOMEONE = 1 TIME CREDIT
What is a TimeBank?
TimeBanks track the hours members earn by helping others and the hours they spend receiving help. All hours are valued equally, whether for professional services or simple neighborly assistance.
For every hour of help given, a member earns one "time dollar" or "time credit," which the recipient can repay by helping someone else.

New River Valley TimeBank, VA
"People ask, ‘what is this?’ When we tell them and invite them to sit, surprisingly they do! One event was standing room only!
All are welcome in whatever way they show up! In fact, if someone is struggling and we see that, then we jump in and ask THEM to help us! Yeah, sounds crazy and counter-intuitive and it works wonders
