Time Bank Hauling Boxes

I did my first hour of helping a fellow community member through the West Seattle Timebank ( https://westseattle.timebanks.org/ ). How a timebank works is that you "bank" hours by helping out people with personal projects, and when you need help you post requests for help that you "pay for" with banked hours. The gig was helping person with bad knees move boxes from her basement to a covered area outside where she was going to sort the treasures of years for hold a yard sale. This is the sort of favor you'd do for any neighbor, except it's hard to meet neighbors these days as we spend most of our time with family or work. Going through a Time Bank expands our potential circle of neighbors. When we were done, there were 3 boxes of books that she'd pre-sorted as 'donate' so I drove them over to the VA Hospital for their lobby library. Everybody wins!
