A great concept for any community or neighborhood. Time-banking is built around the basic concept of earning and spending hours. Everyone has skills, whether they are a medical professional, house painter, cook, etc., and are worth one time dollar per hour.

Companies and organizations as well as individuals can be members of the time bank.
