Repair Cafe

Please check our calendar or the Isthmus for the next Repair Cafe event.

Do you have a broken or damaged item that you hope can be fixed? Before you toss or replace it…see if a volunteer can repair it!

Volunteers at the Arbor Good Neighbor House would like to try to repair your broken stuff! Items they’ll do their best to fix include; small pieces of furniture, electrical and IT equipment, small appliances, torn clothing, toys and bicycles.

The Repair Cafe at AGNH is part of the Repair Cafe movement….a global, neighborhood-based initiative promoting repair as an alternative to tossing things out.

Repair Cafe events provide community members the opportunity to bring things that are broken or not working correctly to a community gathering where handy volunteers with repair expertise do their best to fix what can be fixed…saving neighbors (like you!) replacement costs and keeping still usable things out of landfills.

If you have something to be repaired, are interested in volunteering or you’re just curious… please join us!
