We have loved every activity that we've done with Community Exchange, the Lehigh Valley time bank. From social events like the summer picnic at Cedar Beach, to service projects in the community, our partnership with Community Exchange has allowed RCI's participants to contribute to and be a part of the broader community.

On Friday a team from RCI visited Jubilee Housing, a program in Washington, DC that "builds diverse, compassionate communities that create opportunities for everyone to thrive." We are exploring this program as a possible model for affordable, community integrated, socially supported housing in Allentown.

This week, RCI partnered with Community Exchange for the first time. We were able to help Ms. Linda of Allentown with some weeding in her yard, and it was a great success!
