Volunteer repair coaches will be available to help residents repair broken items free of charge. Bring your broken small electronics such as lamps, toasters, vacuums, coffee makers, wood items such as furniture and toys, mechanical non-electric items, clothing and textiles, and computers with problems, and bikes needing a tune-up. Our repair coaches will have you stay, watch, and learn how to fix your treasures and possessions.

We are always in need of REPAIR COACHES! Questions? Want to volunteer? Reach out to RepairCafeCP@gmail.com today!
