Community

A Time Bank is a community of people who support each other. When you spend an hour to do something for an individual or group, you earn a “time credit.” Then, you can use that “time credit” to buy an hour of a neighbor’s time or engage in a group activity offered by a neighbor. It’s that simple. Yet it also has profound effects. You get to know your neighbors and friends and build an old-fashioned extended family of people who take care of each other. A Time Bank changes a whole community. Bring a dish to share and learn about the Care and Share Time Bank.

We start at 6pm instead of 6:30pm. If you haven’t been to Local Matters’ office in a beautiful historic mansion on E. Broad St. you are in for a treat. You probably know Local Matters for their awesome work transforming the local food infrastructure and their pioneering work with community gardens. You may be surprised to learn what they are doing in schools, about their Growing Matters programs and their new initiative: Wellness Matters! Many of us know Michael Jones, the founder, but tonight we will meet the new Executive Director, Michelle Moskowitz Brown.

We provide a main option for meat-lovers, vegetarians and vegans.

Please bring a picnic-style dish to share and your own non-booze drinks!

The shelter has a large double-grill, electricity, drinking water, a small grassy playfield, children’s play set and swings, a horseshoe pit and ADA-accessible restrooms.

Bring your friends and your family! This is open to the entire community regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Everybody is welcome!

Kids encouraged to come — and bring your hula hoops again!
