Time Banking Slide Show

Last week there was a presentation on time banking at Monmouth University. Ashley Lobbato and several other dedicated staff members at MonmouthCares are working toward implementing this program in Monmouth County.

Time banking is a way of buying the services you need by earning time for services you provide. Every hour of service has the same value no matter what the service, and transactions are tax-free. This alternative form of currency is an innovative way for people to meet their needs in a difficult economy.

Everyone has something to give and can participate in the time banking network, which creates a circle of giving that reconnects communities.

The slide show that was part of last week’s presentation can be viewed at the link below. It was created using an application called Prezi that allows for imbedded videos on some screens. Grab your family members and take a look to learn more about this really cool initiative.
