SWEL Timebank Potluck

A group of North King and South Snohomish County residents is realizing their vision of creating a timebank.  On Nov. 9, the SWEL Time Bank launched in Shoreline with plans to hold monthly potlucks during 2012. 

Timebanks use a low overhead, self-organizing internet based system to help people exchange their talents, passions, and resources with other members so that they enjoy the necessities and the niceties of life. At its simplest, an hour you spend doing something for a SWEL Timebank member goes into the bank as a time hour. Then you have a time hour to spend having another SWEL member do something for you. People of all ages are welcome.

Learn how the SWEL Timebank works and become a founding member at our next potluck/orientation.

There are over 100 timebanks in the United States, including one in East King County, which serves the cities of Kirkland, Redmond and Bellevue. Timebanking is a great way to get to know members in your community.  In addition to a group of dedicated volunteers, SWEL is made possible because of a generous grant from United Way of King County, and help from Eastside Timebank & Senior Services' Aging Your Way Initiative.
