The purpose of this study is to consider the influences of community work on residents' life and the community. For this objective, 20 participants to activities of the community currency in a rural town were surveyed by means of interview. Some results show as follows: 1) In many cases, relationship is closer than before not only between requestor and offerer but also among offerers through the activity of the community currency. 2) Although requestors has mentally unwillngness and anxiety to ask, paying the membership fee even if it is small sum of money and having a nodding acquaintance with offerers ease requestors' mind and uneasiness. 3) Retirees are playing an important part to maintain an activity of the community currency. But on the other hand, it gives them an opportunity to display their abilities and contribute for the community.
