Practice

Timebanking can be a lifestyle or something that you occasionally use. The more you timebank, the easier it becomes to continue doing. When you practice timebanking on a regular basis, you build community, and you are more likely to meet your needs regardless of your financial situation. The BACE Timebank honors the unique gifts, talents and resources that each of us has to share, regardless of age, employment, ethnicity, or other demographic.
