Red Hook Repair Café

A Repair Café is a free meeting place where people come together to repair "broken but beloved" things. We love keeping fixable things out of the landfill! We have volunteers with repair skills called "Repair Coaches" in all kinds of fields ready to fix. Sometimes they can just provide advice, and sometimes more parts are needed than they have, but they have a good time trying to restore things!

Broken items have been fixed in all these categories: most often clothes (thanks you RHCC Sewing Center!) and electrical appliances, but sometimes we have a coach who can fix jewelry and bicycles. Knives have been sharpened, and sometimes we have a take apart table where youthful participants can dismantle something and learn about it. There's always a 'glue it' table where you can finally try to re-attach that old ceramic mug handle that broke off!
If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy other amazing resources offered at the Community Center. Or you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job.
If you would like to volunteer at the event or perhaps lend your skills as a Repair Coach, please contact us at cmVkaG9va2NhY2ludGVybiB8IGdtYWlsICEgY29t
