The Mission of the Spring Hill Timebank
We help Spring Hill and the area 20 miles to the North, South, and East create a network of neighbors who care for each other. We build and strengthen relationships by connecting people who have unmet needs with people who have untapped resources.
Why Time Banking?
Life has changed and our friends and family do not always live nearby. It is not so easy to ask neighbors for help these days, particularly if we do not know if we can ever pay them back.
Timebanking is a rewarding and enjoyable way to bring people together once again to share their skills. Just like in a babysitting circle or shared household, people get the help they need and help each other out by taking turns to be responsible for some of the care, social needs, and practical support that we all need from time to time. The only difference is that with Timebanking, people of all ages and all abilities can join in and exchange a whole range of skills.
We believe that every person in society is of value no matter what their age or ability. Everyone has knowledge and experience, and every person has the ability to help someone in their community. Not everyone can do every-thing, but everyone can do something. And every one of us has something we need!
