Sedona-Verde Valley TimeBank members have received services such as sewing repairs & alterations, pet sitting, plant watering, gardening consultations, Meals on Wheels drivers, brush hauling, business start up research & consultation, and provided volunteers for the St. Patrick's Festival and Celebration of Spring events. Coming up, volunteers will be helping out at the YMCA's Celebrate Sedona event, June 23.
Organizations such as the Sedona Community Center, OLLI, the Sedona Food Bank, Catholic Charities, the Sedona Charter School, Northern Arizona Seniors in Action Coalition, and the Mitzvah Day Group have ongoing needs which always need a helping hand. By being part of the Sedona-Verde Valley TimeBank these organizations have been able to meet portions of their needs via the volunteer base within the TimeBank. Additionally, volunteers for these organizations, who are individual members of the TimeBank, benefit from earning TimeTokens for their time with the organizations which they spend on services they need.
Plenty of neighbors and local organizations can benefit from your help. The Yavapai Food Council (formerly the Verde Food Council) is currently seeking volunteer drivers to pick up bread & bagels from the Wildflower Bread Company and NY Bagels in Sedona and deliver them the next day to Cottonwood. TimeBank members would earn TimeTokens for providing this service but anyone can volunteer to help out. Please contact us if you're a TimeBank member or Amy at the Yavapai Food Council if you're interested in helping out with this project.
TimeBanking recognizes everyone's talents as important and equal. Together, we have the means to connect and share resources to create communities where everyone has what they need.
