Founded in 2012, the Pontiac SUN TimeBank was funded from 2012-2016 by the United Way for Southeastern Michigan (UWSEM). The grant supported innovative programming in the field of basic needs and the movement of individuals and families along the continuum towards sustainable self-sufficiency. SUN is a partnership of Common Ground, Michigan Alliance of TimeBanks, Lighthouse of Oakland County, Oakland Family Services, Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency (OLHSA), and the Community Housing Network. While Common Ground is our host and fiscal sponsor, our office is located with the Pontiac Regional Chamber, 402 N. Telegraph, Pontiac, MI 48341.
Pontiac SUN (Strong United Neighbors) TimeBank and St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital (SJMO) are launching an innovative partnership in early 2017 to provide a network of support and caring to help patients heal. If you are interested in sharing your time and talents with patients in need (could be driving to a doctor's appointment, a friendly call or visit, caring for a pet, cooking a healthy meal or providing friendship and support in some manner), please contact us at 248-791-2091 or pontiactime@gmail.com
