The founder of TimeBanks USA, Edgar Cahn (left, blue shirt), recognized that it takes all kinds of people to make a community work.  Shown here with people learning about how to connect organizations and people in Michigan, he has visited Dane County often to see programs like the TimeBank Youth Courts and Coming Home project can have an impact on community justice. 

In addition to the most popular Neighbor to Neighbor exchanges, TimeBanking makes it possible to:

• "buy" goods at Maxine's store
• learn how to ride public transportation
• save money on your heating bill and stay warm in winter
• build a healthier community economy
  
• cooperate with neighbors and organizations to make a healthy Allied Drive!
• improve access to health and wellness services
  
• take care of each other day to day and in times of great need.
