A service exchange or time bank is a network of individual, organizational and business 'members' that provide services, track and bank their hours and then spend those hours to get their own needs met. A service exchange is NOT a barter network, since nothing is 'exchanged'. One 'member' provides a friendly, neighborly favor to another and records the time they spent doing so.
Our time bank is a targeted national time bank. The services that are offered in the OFN USA time bank are restricted to those that directly benefit local food networks.
