Repair Café

What are Repair Cafés?

A Repair Café is a free community event where skilled volunteer fixers help you repair your broken items so they don’t end up in the landfill. Bring in your small appliances, electronics, clothing, bikes, laptops, and more. Together, we’ll do our best to get them working again.

Since 2023, SPEC volunteers have repaired over 2,026 items!
