  • About HOUR Exchange

    People in this group are likely members of the HOUR Exchange organization that prints and circulates the local currency, HOURS, in Benton County. Local currency teaches you about the gift economy and that giving of ones good and services often ends up in greater abundance. Most members in this group are familiar with barter and trade and take the local currency. AND UNLIKE postings in our quarterly paper (the HOUR Trader), postings here are offered freely with no expectation of barter or trade or reciprocation. Of course that is welcome but not expected. We are eager to push the boundaries of exchange and community with the Kindista vehicle.

    What we're really good at

    Printing and disbursing the local currency
    Building a resilient community
    Educating people about economics and money
    Publishing a quarterly paper
    Hosting community marketplace events
