Bring items for repair.
Come with anything from a pair of ripped jeans to a broken plate or an old bike.

Get Paired with a Fixer.
Check-in and get matched with an expert who will help repair your item.

Repair your item.
Learn how to repair your item with the guidance of an expert and the tools needed for basic repairs.

This free community event pairs attendees with skilled volunteers to help repair household items—from small appliances and clothing to bicycles and furniture. You bring the item. We provide the tools. Our volunteers bring the know-how. 

The Repair Cafe is a free, volunteer staffed event.  Our volunteer fixers are multi-faceted and handy, our repair stations will include fabrics/clothing/textiles, wooden items, bikes, and small appliances. Please note - we can’t guarantee that our volunteers will be capable of fixing every problem with every item.  We will all do our absolute best to adequately fix most items.
