A Repair Cafe is a free community event. You bring your broken but beloved items and together with volunteer repair coaches, WE FIX THEM! People bring all kinds of things to a repair cafe: clocks and other mechanical items; chairs, frames, and other wooden items; electrical items and small appliances; digital devices; clothing and textiles; dolls, stuffed animals, and toys, tools in need of sharpening; jewelry and watches; and so much more! Most items get fixed, and even when they don’t – we have a good time trying!
The first Repair Cafe in the region started up in New Paltz in May 2013 in the spacious and inviting Social Room of the New Paltz United Methodist church. The original core group of fixers and menders are still volunteering today–along with all those who have joined in along the way.
SPONSORS
