What Is a Time Bank
A Time Bank is a community exchange system where people trade services using time instead of money.
When you help someone, you earn time credits.
You can later spend those credits when you need help from another member.
Example:
- Help someone fix their computer → earn 1 time credit
- Use that credit to receive gardening help
The system values people’s time equally and strengthens community cooperation.
This concept is already explained on the site but should appear earlier and more clearly.
