Community Time Bank

Care for your neighbor today. Be cared for tomorrow.

Every act of kindness earns Care Credits. Drive someone to an appointment. Bring a meal. Check in on a neighbor. Your community remembers — and pays it forward when it's your turn.

Join Your Neighborhood

Three steps. No paperwork. No money.

1

Do something kind

Drive a neighbor to the doctor. Mow their lawn. Bring soup when they're sick. Sit with them when they're lonely.

2

Log it

Open the app. Tap what you did. Your neighbor confirms. Credits appear in your account.

3

Bank it

Your Care Credits accumulate. Use them for your own care someday. Transfer to your parents. Or just keep giving.

Credits are based on time and impact, not skill level. A teenager mowing a lawn earns the same as a retired nurse doing a check-in. Care is care.

What would that be worth from an agency? $33,600 per year.

What does it cost your neighborhood? Nothing but time.

Care in practice

M

Margaret, 78

Her husband died last spring. She doesn't need a caregiver — she needs someone to have coffee with on Tuesday mornings. David from three doors down started showing up. He earns 1 $CARE each week. Margaret gets a friend. When David's knee gives out next year, his 52 credits will cover the first weeks of recovery care.

H

The Hernandez family

When abuela fell, the whole block showed up. Maria drove to the ER. Carlos fixed the loose step. The teenagers walked the dog for two weeks. Nobody asked for anything. But the app tracked it all — and when Maria's father needs care in Phoenix, she can transfer her credits to his cooperative there.

J

Jake, 16

He started mowing Mr. Patterson's lawn because his mom asked him to. Then he started checking in on Mrs. Chen. Then he helped set up the Wi-Fi at the senior center. He's 16 and he has 47 care credits. He doesn't need them yet. But his grandmother in Denver does.

Your credits are portable. Your care is universal.

One token. Every community. Every chapter.
Move to a new city → credits come with you
Transfer to a family member → anywhere in the network
Boulder ↔ Portland ↔ Miami
Cooperative to cooperative. Coast to coast.

Not competition. Celebration.

Showing that care is happening. That the mesh is real.

🏆
Someone on Maple St: 12 hours of care given this month
🍲
A family on Oak Ave: 8 meals delivered
🤝
Neighborhood total: 47 hours of care exchanged

No names unless you choose. This isn't about recognition. It's about showing that care is happening.

Start giving. Start earning.

It takes 30 seconds to join. Zero cost. Just show up for your neighbors.
