Repair Café and Clothing Swap

Presented with Re.Use.Full

We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it’s cheaper to replace rather than repair it 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.*

We’ll be doing fixes for items such as:

  • Bikes
  • Clothing/textiles (repairs only, no alterations, please)
  • Computers (virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
  • Electronics
  • Jewelry
  • Lamps
  • Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on hand mixers, toasters, irons, etc.)

* Limit of 1 item per turn and 3 items total. Stay for additional turns if volunteers are available to help.

This event will also include an all-ages clothing swap and appearances by local, sustainable organizations: Magpie Collective, Soap Refill Station, and Compost Collective. Attendees do not have to donate clothes to receive clothes.
