Email education@repairpdx.org.Note on Sliding Scale Pricing:Repair PDX seeks to both pay our instructors equitably and keep ticket prices accessible.Not every event we run is independently solvent. We provide sliding scale, reduced tickets for volunteers, and other low cost opportunities because of our values. Thus, we rely on those with more financial support to pay the higher end of the sliding scale in order to offset the low-cost tickets. As such, you will see a variety of ticket prices for the same event and we encourage you to pay what you can.Proceeds from tickets go directly to paying our wonderful instructors, providing materials for the class, and continuing to host events and workshops like this one! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/diy-mending-august/100001997155505880 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-08-29T20:45:00Z - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Leaven Community Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.18, max: 71.21, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Leaven Community Center - **lat**: 45.5623417 - **long**: -122.6451262 - **full address**: Leaven Community Center, 5431 Northeast 20th Avenue, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: DIY Mending - August - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/b9fc25de34b9fab6e7fd973e81395146291d1f2903f2d47969d41370c21fbb87-rimg-w1200-h828-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1786461022 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is DIY Mending - August being held? - **A:** DIY Mending - August takes place on Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Leaven Community Center, 5431 Northeast 20th Avenue, Portland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing DIY Mending - August? - **A:** DIY Mending - August is organized by Repair PDX. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
