Community Exchange
Share services like yard work, home improvements, guitar lessons and more with your neighbors Need help with yard work or home improvements? Want to learn a new skill? Need a ride to an appointment? Community Exchange may be your solution. You don’t need money; just time to help someone else. Community Exchange is a program in which you voluntarily exchange your skills and services for someone else’s skills and services. If you need help, you simply contact Community Exchange. As a member, you can use our interactive database to find someone who can help you or someone to whom you can offer help. The talents you’re willing to share are recorded in a database to be matched with someone in need. This could include pulling weeds, helping someone clean out their attic, driving someone to an appointment, or simply providing companionship. When you help someone you earn “time dollars.” You can then “cash-in” the time dollars for services from other members. Creating a Community Web Here’s an example of how Community Exchange works: Tony needed help tiling his bathroom before his new baby arrived. He earned “time dollars” by installing an air conditioner for Carol, driving Ellen to the doctor and helping Linda move furniture. He earned enough “time dollars” to have Frank help him with the tiling. In exchange for Tony’s help, Carol teaches drawing and transports Community Exchange members to the grocery store. Linda uses her computer skills to assist members with word processing, and Ellen serves on Community Exchange’s advisory board and offers telephone assistance and companionship. Over and over and over, members exchange their time and skills, building healthy community connections, while learning that receiving is as valuable as giving. New Member Orientation All new members attend an orientation, held from 2-4 p.m., the third Monday of each month at the Center for Healthy Aging at Lehigh Valley Hospital-17th Street in Allentown, Pa.
