Welcome to our blog!

"We have what we need if we use what we have."
– Edgar Cahn (founder of Time Banks USA)

This is so true, not only of our time, talents, skills and abilities (the things exchanged through the Time Bank), but also of the good will, social connections, friendship and relationships developed among our members. There are so many experiences and stories to share. The PA Time Bank blog: "TimeDollarConnections" has been established to record some of the remarkable, unique and inspiring connections made among members.

About Us

Phoenixville Area Time Bank, now in its 14th year, is part of a world-wide social-change movement that builds community through members sharing their skills and services in exchange for Time Dollars.

For every hour you spend doing something for someone in your community, you earn one Time Dollar. Then you have a Time Dollar to spend on having someone do something for you. It's that simple. Yet it also has profound effects. Time Banks change neighborhoods and whole communities.

Each Time Dollar represents an hour of service. Typical services include: rides to the airport, gardening, pet care, household construction, food exchanges, and computer help.

We are creating community by exchanging services from driving, gardening, hair cutting and pet care to lightening the load of moving day by taking turns schlepping boxes. Come meet the people you share enthusiasm with who are making a difference and having fun doing it.
