Dr. Edgar Cahn, Founder of TimeBanks.Org and
the father of TimeBanking
The world has lost a wonderful pioneer and trailblazer to the TimeBank movement on Sunday morning, January 23, 2022. Dr. Edgar Cahn, age 86, author of Time Dollars and No More Throw-Away People, and one of the founding fathers of TimeBanking, embodied the highest ideals of both mobilizing communities to come together to express their strengths and to restore mutual care. He created a new way to link untapped social capacity to unmet social needs and for communities to come together to help promote trust, reciprocity, and citizen engagement.
