What are timebanks?

There are over 100 successful timebanks in the United States, including the Eastside Timebank, which serves the cities of Kirkland, Redmond, and Bellevue. Timebanks use a low overhead, self-organizing internet based system to help people exchange their talents and passions with other members so that they can enjoy the necessities and niceties of life.

In addition to our generous volunteers, SWEL is possible because of a generous grant from the United Way of King County and help from the Eastside Timebank and Senior Services' Aging Your Way initiative.

How do timebanks work?

An hour you spend doing something for a SWEL Timebank member goes into the bank as one time hour. You can then use this time hour having another SWEL member do something for you.

Join us on November 9th and find out how timebanks can strengthen our communities.

See you there!
