TimeBank uses a website to pair folks who need help with those who are willing to do some helping. Members can post an “Offer” if they have a particular skill they think could benefit another. People who need help with a task can post a “Request.” People respond according to their need, or their ability to help. The goal is to strengthen the fabric of the community through the exchange of skills and services.
The Nether-Swarthmore TimeBank has added a new twist — in fact, a lot of them — to its next potluck event. Group members will meet October 25 not only to share their usual fellowship and food, but also their knot-tying skills, as they spend time together making no-sew fleece blankets to be donated to Main Line Health’s Hospice program. We’re calling the event “Sweets and Fleece,” since the potluck portion of the evening consists of desserts, rather than a full meal.
