Welcome to the People's Time Exchange
Welcome! **If you are creating a new account, please list your username as your FIRST (space) LAST name. It should look like: John Doe, not johndoe, john.doe, doejohn, or any other combination. Thank you!**
We recognize that each person has talents to share, and that the overall community is strengthened when neighbors help one another. For every hour that you help meet the needs of another member, you earn a time credit for the exchange. This time credit can then be redeemed for services from others, and the cycle of sharing will grow and:
- Strengthen the fabric of our community.
- Serve people and give them a means to serve.
- Establish new relationships and meet real needs of our community members.
Membership Orientation Meetings
