Barn Raisers Time Bank: Building Community in Pittsburgh's North Hills.....and Beyond!
The Barn Raisers Time Bank is a time bank located in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Time Banking is a relatively simple, but powerful concept in which members exchange services without using money. For every hour you spend doing something for another member, you earn one Time Dollar. Then you have a Time Dollar to spend on having someone do something for you. It's really that simple - yet, it also has profound effects. Time Banks change neighborhoods and whole communities. Time Banking is a social change movement in twenty-two countries and six continents.
Barn Raisers Time Bank members exchange services of all types, including transportation, home repair and maintenance, pet sitting, massage therapy, mechanical services, child care, musical and arts instruction, academic tutoring, and much more.
