We all know what it is like to punch the clock and put in the hours, but what if you did it for something other than money? Simply put, time banking is about spending an hour doing something for another person in your community.
How it works: The time dollar you earn for your efforts is punched into a central online database. You might do some grocery shopping for a shut-in, for instance, and then spend your dollar on having your dog walked. In today's society, we often don't know our neighbors, but with a time bank, you can find someone to help and a way to contribute. Time banking leverages the power of networking to build community and save resources.
There are time banks all over the world, and they basically work much in the same way. According to the site:
It is like having an extended family to help out-with rides to the doctor, trips to the supermarket, help with the yard, chores around the house or childcare.With time banking, sharing gifts means building trust.
Time banking honors the unique gifts, talents and resources that each of us has to share, regardless of age, employment or ethnic background-such as tutoring, yard work, simple repairs, running errands, and storytelling. It's labor with love.
