Repair Cafés are scheduled events that take place in free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). You’ll find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields They help repair items such as clean and mendable clothing, knitted and crocheted items, lamps, small appliances, computers and other electronics, bikes, outdoor power equipment, toys, and jewelry. They also can sharpen knives, scissors, and garden tools. Visitors pay only for needed parts, and when possible are encouraged to bring parts with them to save time. Visitors bring their broken items from home and together with the specialists start making their repairs. It’s an ongoing learning process. The visitor who has nothing to repair can enjoy refreshments or lend a hand with someone else’s repair job.
