Repair Cafe

Saturday March 21th, 2015, 10am-3pm
New Paltz United Methodist Church on Main Street, New Paltz

Volunteers Needed!
Repair Cafe Valet: we need 1-2 people to be at the sidewalk when people drive up to allow them to drop off their item to be repaired & then go park. Parking is very limited near the church. When they return after parking, their item will be safe on the sidewalk with our Parking Reception volunteer. Repair cafe limits items to those that can be carried by one person. If it rains–they will have umbrellas too–but hoping for no rain!)

Cafe volunteer: we will have a variety of baked items to be displayed and sold from the church kitchen. (The Repair Cafe is a free event, including free coffee and tea; baked treats and fruit are for sale). Plus make coffee in the church coffee maker and maintain hot water for tea.

Two shifts – 9am-12pm and 12-3:30pm

Do you like to fix stuff? You’re welcome to help out at any of our worktables as a Repair Coach.

If you can help or for more information please contact John at 646-302-5835
