Do you have a lamp, small appliance, textile, or bike in need of repair?
Bring it to the Repair Fair!
Volunteers and specialized repair professionals will be on-hand to repair* your items. We ask that you stay with your item while it's being fixed, so you can learn tips for future maintenance, how to shop for repairable goods, and even how to repair things yourself!
If you’d like to bring an item to repair, please register the item here . (Pre-registering allows us to prepare for your item!)
This is a free public event.
*We cannot guarantee your item(s) will be repaired, depending on the existing damage or breakage, ability of volunteer fixers, and availability of materials for repair. Note: we cannot work on microwaves, repair screens on cell phones/computer devices, or perform any welding/brazing, but we are happy to refer you to professionals who can. In addition, the textile department is not able to perform the following:
Replacing zippers
Repairing shoes, leather, or vinyl materials
Performing alterations (making garments bigger/smaller)
Replacing rivets/grommets
Hemming certain fabrics (stretchy fabric, sleek/luxury fabrics e.g. prom dresses)
If you are in need of garment hemming, we require that you please pin your garment to the desired length before you arrive.
This event will also include a Clothing Swap! Drop off clean clothes the week before. Come back on May 16 and take home what you need. No donation required to take, all genders and sizes welcome.
How the swap works:
