Building awareness about resource conservation
through repair and re-use
Hello Repair Café Friends:
Our next repair clinic is scheduled for Saturday, June 12.
Pass the word: RCRC is back!
As we return to our normal once-a-month operations, we are on the lookout for folks to volunteer with our organization.
Do you have a knack for or want to learn troubleshooting and repairing household small appliances, lamps, hand and power tools, furniture, bicycles or clothing and other fabric or leather items? Do you think you might enjoy using your skills to helping others solve their fix-it problems? If so, please consider volunteering with us. We don’t ask volunteers to make a long-term time commitment. Participation is on an as-can, as-want basis and we strive for a friendly, relaxed, low-pressure feeling at our events. If you know someone who’s not on our mailing list and might enjoy volunteering with us, please encourage them to come by one of our Second Saturday events and check us out.
Our Mission
Repair Café is a grassroots organization dedicated to raising awareness that we can reduce harmful resource extraction, prevent resource over-consumption and ease the burden on landfills by repairing our broken household goods and keeping them in service. At our monthly repair clinics, skilled volunteers will assist you with repairing your broken or non-functional items.
Owning what you purchase means owning the right to repair it.
“THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AWAY. WHEN YOU THROW SOMETHING AWAY, IT MUST GO SOMEWHERE.”
