Sonoma Share - A New Community Time Bank in Sonoma County

Sonoma Share Time Bank is a free member organization where neighbors help neighbors, and no money changes hands. Our goal is to create a resilient network of mutual aid and community in Sonoma County.

What is a Time Bank?

A time bank is a system where people exchange services using the currency of hours instead of dollars. Every hour you give helping another member earns you an hour to receive help from someone else. We use a member website to post offers and requests, and track member hours. All members are respected and valued equally for their time and talents. One hour = one hour, no matter the task.

Examples of What You Could Give or Receive:

• Rides to appointments
• Cooking or meal prep
• Home repair services
• Pet-sitting or dog walking
• Tech support
• Audio/Visual services
• Basic automotive work
• Help with errands
• Gardening or organizing
• Childcare or elder support
• Translation or writing
• Art, crafts, or tutoring
• Legal or business advice
• Conversation and companionship
