BENBIZ STORE · SOLIDARITY CIRCLES

Make something possible together.

One person may have land, another a craft, and someone else time to share. A Solidarity Circle brings these contributions together around a common need. These illustrative storefronts show how that could appear in the market.

These storefronts are illustrative; they do not represent established circles or products ready for sale.

ROOM FOR EVERY CONTRIBUTION

Everyone can contribute differently.

Imagine a vegetable garden: one person offers space, another knows how to grow, someone helps harvest and another delivers the produce. Before starting, everyone discusses responsibilities, time and what they will receive in return.

PRODUCTION CHAIN

Start with the need, then bring contributions together.

Suppose we want to bake bread in a neighbourhood or hold a workshop. First we identify the needs: space, knowledge, materials, time and transport. Then we look together at what is available and what is missing. Sharing your contribution through exchange can be a first introduction.
