Timebanking during Crises

California Fires, Floods, and Earthquakes

The Timebank is available in 14 counties in central California from San Francisco to counties that are south, east, and north of San Francisco. Timebank staff encourage timebankers living in counties with seasonal fires and floods to use the Timebank to strengthen their connections within their community and beyond before such crises arise.

Local and Global Health Outbreaks

The Timebank has always offered the opportunity to do exchanges virtually. During local flu or measles outbreaks or global pandemics such as COVID-19, timebankers are encouraged to do exchanges virtually and/or follow the recommendations of their county and/or city regarding masking, social distancing, and hand-sanitizing and any other recommendations. The Timebank is currently open for its in-person potlucks.
