Repair Cafe
We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it’s cheaper to replace rather than repair them or we just don’t know how to fix it. That’s where Repair Cafés come in! Together with our volunteers, you can have your broken items repaired instead of tossing them.
Join us for our next event at St. Mark Hope and Peace Lutheran Church on March 15!
We’ll be doing fixes for items such as:
- Bikes
- Clothing/textiles
- Computers (Virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
- Electronics
- Jewelry
- Lamps
- Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on handmixers, toasters, irons, etc.)
Please note: To help minimize the wait for everyone, we’ll have a limit of 1 item per repair category (e.g., 1 shirt) and a total of 3 items per turn (e.g., 1 shirt, 1 lamp and 1 bracelet). We welcome you to stay for additional turns if you have more items in need of fixing!
For your upcoming Repair Cafe event, can I drop off useful things to be repaired and given away?
Sorry, Jeff, we cannot accept donations of broken items, even if they are repairable.
Just learned about this today, the 16th! When is the next one?
Hi Sonja, you can find our upcoming repair cafes on our calendar or here: https://reusefull.org/repair-cafes/
Do you accept donations of repairable items?
Unfortunately, we are not able to accept donations of items that can be repaired.
