Fix-it Fair

This repair event is for small appliances, lamps, and clothing. Last items will be received at 1:30pm.

What do you do with your favorite sweater with a tear in the elbow? A table cloth with a torn hem? A toaster or coffee grinder that no longer works? A lamp that mysteriously won't turn on?

Repair events are free community gatherings where individuals can bring their broken belongings to be repaired by local volunteers with a variety of skills and knowledge.

These events spark connections within the community through the exchange of valuable mending and repair knowledge – all while diverting personal possessions from the landfill!

Important information:

• Limit of 2 belongings per person. If there is space and time, it is possible we can repair additional items you might bring.

• You must be present during repair.

• Please clean your belongings before bringing them in to be repaired (wash clothes beforehand, clean appliances beforehand).
