Community Based Time Bank Launched
Julie Malone
My boyfriend, Sam House (SOHA Resident), recently created and launched a Time Bank website/network with Creative Exchange Lab of St. Louis... this is where folks can exchange services without using money. It is a brilliant concept that is taking hold in cities and communities all over the world. I feel it is in check with our visions for the garden, my gallery and for bonding our SOHA community and beyond! Please take a minute to look, read, apply and post. I have several offerings and service requests that might help, as a guide, when creating your own profile and services.
Changing the World One Hour at a Time.

The Friendly Neighborhood TimeBank has three main goals:
- Strengthen the fabric of our community.
- Serve people and give them a means to serve.
- Establish new relationships and meet real needs of our community members.
We recognize that each person has talents to share, and that the overall community is strengthened when neighbors help one another. For every hour that you help meet the needs of another member, you earn a time credit for the exchange. This time credit can then be redeemed for services from others, and the never-ending cycle of sharing continues.
