We are a caring and interconnected community of people who help each other by sharing our abilities, talents and experiences. We all have needs; we all have gifts to share. When you or your organization provides a service for another member, you earn one Time Dollar for each hour you spent providing the service. You (or your organization) can then exchange each Time Dollar you earn for an hour of service from someone else.
Valley Time Trade was started by people interested in strengthening community up and down the Pioneer Valley. We called an initial series of meetings, decided that we needed a Core Committee who would meet more frequently, make decisions and get Valley Time Trade up and running while drawing upon the input of the "Sounding Board" – others interested in the Time Bank. The Committee has signed on for 6 months and then will shift. Commonwealth Center for Change is serving as the fiscal sponsor for Valley Time Trade. Community Action, Pedal People, and Class Action are all organizations that have contributed to creating Valley Time Trade
