Dane Co. Timebank Director Stephanie Rearick recently spoke about timebanking and our Timebank at the Economics of Peace Conference in Sonoma, CA.

The Dane County Timebank, based in Madison, WI and surrounding communities, links individuals, social service organizations, public and private institutions, food producers, neighborhoods, local businesses and arts groups to make it easier to work together.
Timebanking is an exchange system. People help each other and receive credits for their service. Anyone who helps another member earns one time dollar per hour, which they can then spend on an hour of service from anyone else in the network. Timebanking is a way to value the work we do for others in our community and the work we do in building that community. Instead of going without things because we cannot afford to pay each other with money, we exchange time.
As budgets shrink and expenses grow, it's time for us to use the many wonderful assets of all residents of Dane County, matching unmet needs with unused resources. We each have talents and skills that someone else values. By sharing them, we can create community one hour at a time.
We invite you to join us.
