Milinda Stewart, Sonoma County Time Bank

Co-hosts Dan Kerbein and Evelina Molina interview Milinda Stewart, Director of Sonoma County Time Bank at the Share Exchange/Go Local Marketplace in Santa Rosa, CA Time banking is a form of alternative currency, an hour-for-hour exchange, where for every hour you spend helping out in the community, you are eligible for an equal number of hous for someone to help you. The vision is to implement a simple, proven system for people to give and receive services using the exchange of ‘timedollars’.With TimeBanking, you work with a small group of committed individuals who are joined together for a common good. TimeBank members are a caring interconnected community of people who help each other by sharing their abilities, talents, and experiences. Through both giving and receiving members learn to appreciate the value in each and every member and also come to believe in the value of their own contributions.
