Growing since 2010, the Sedona-Verde Valley TimeBank has touched the lives of many who may not have had the means to obtain needed services. As time goes on, we forget we ALL have skills to offer one another. The TimeBank Community is here to remind us our time and talents are valuable to others, even if they seem insignificant to us! The simple act of companionship to an elder, reading to or tutoring children, or allowing a member to catch a ride with you on your next shopping trip can mean the world to someone. TimeBanking is a way of "paying" for needed services in "Time". By doing something for a TimeBank member, you earn time credits for your volunteer services. Those time credits are what "pay" for the services you may be seeking.
A wonderful documentary called "Fixing the Future" demonstrates TimeBanking in action all over the country. Watch a portion of the video here to get an idea of how a TimeBank works for individual members.
We need to know who will be coming so please RSVP to svvtimebank@gmail.com or call 928-300-8132 by Thursday, April 18.
