Our fundraising campaign is live until November 15, 2013: The Arroyo S.E.C.O. Community Revolving Loan Fund was created to offer opportunities for local growth, community enrichment and personal empowerment to Time Bank entrepreneurs (for more information on Time Banking, visit www.asntb.com). Our loan fund offers low interest, community supported micro-loans to entrepreneurs who create for the love of creating, who believe in quality over quantity and who believe deeply in a responsibility to community. Studies show that locally owned businesses in any community have a greater positive impact on the local economy than national chains and large corporations, because they create more jobs for locals, encourage residents to buy more locally, ease community tension and distress from limited access to goods and services, and they give more to local charities.
