Description:
The NRV Timebank and The NRV Habitat for Humanity bring you our fourth semi-annual Repair Cafe and Earth Day Celebration at the ReStore from 9:00 am until to 3:00 pm on Saturday, April 27, 2019.

Community members can bring up to three small items for assessment and repair by volunteers. Offering sewing, plant re-potting, knife and tool sharpening, IT support, small furniture repair and small electronics repair. Don't throw it away, bring it to Repair Cafe!

Also, come and see the entries into the Habitat for Humanity Earth Day Challenge. Community members are encouraged to re-purpose or up-cycle any used material into a re-imagined art or functional piece. Submissions get quite creative.

The New River Valley TimeBank is a project of New River Valley Home, a non-profit that works to foster vibrant, lifespan-friendly communities by connecting people, resources and organizations. It has been developed and supported through the efforts of the NRV Livability Initiative and the NRV Aging in Place Leadership Team.

A TimeBank helps to connect people to exchange skills and services, using time rather than dollars. When a member provides one hour of service for someone, they earn one Time Credit. They can then spend this Time Credit by receiving an hour of service from someone else. The possibilities for exchange are endless and may include home repair, animal care, yard work, cooking lessons, computer instruction, etc.

All services are valued equally, and all members are respected for what they have to offer. It is an old idea made new—the idea that our community is stronger when neighbors make a practice of helping each other.
