The Ferndale Timebank serves residents of Ferndale and Pleasant Ridge.

If you reside in the community we serve, please take the time to learn more about what membership in our Timebank means.

To become a member you will have to create a login, the information will be sent to a coordinator to review. We require an orientation to learn the software and timebank basics before activating your account. Keep an eye on our website for orientation dates or check out our Facebook page. You can also email us!

If you do not live in our designated area, please visit the Michigan Alliance of Timebanks website to see how you can join or start a Timebank in your community. You may also contact Kim Hodge, who is the coordinator of the Lathrup Village Timebank.

Contact us if you have questions about our Timebank.

A Timebank is a volunteer membership organization. It is a community of people who support each other.

When you spend an hour to do something for an individual or group, with Timebanking, you will earn one Timebank hour. Then you can use that Timebank hour to receive one hour of a neighbor’s time or engage in a group activity offered by a neighbor.

With Timebanking, you work with a group of individuals who are joined together for the common good. Timebanking brings out the best in people because, as a system, it connects needs with resources and skills.

In this simple way, Timebanking builds relationships and community. You get to know your neighbors and build an extended family of people who take care of each other.

We will be having our first group project Sunday, May 23rd at 10am. We will be working outside weather permitting, helping Darcie out with her yard. Bring gardening gloves and your favorite tool if you like. We will also be following up with a potluck lunch, please bring a dish to pass! If you are unable or unwilling to do yard work you can still join the potluck (i.e. grab some lunch after church etc).

Non members can also join! Stop on by to see what the timebank is all about!

Please RSVP if you are coming.
