We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it's cheaper to replace rather than repair it or we just don't know how to fix it.
That’s where Repair Cafés come in! Together with our volunteers, you can have your broken items repaired instead of tossing them. We'll be doing fixes for items such as:
--Bikes
--Clothing/textiles
--Computers (Virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
--Jewelry
--Lamps
--Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on handmixers, toasters, irons, etc.)
We'll also have a clothing swap where you can exchange your clothes with others to refresh your wardrobe for free. Clean out those closets and drawers and get ready to find your new look!
If you're someone who enjoys tinkering or problem-solving to get something working again or loves to organize, we're looking for volunteers! Please email Leslie Scott to learn more at [email protected].

If you have surplus tools, such as screwdrivers, hammers, clamps, pliers, wrenches, drills and soldering equipment lying around taking up space, donate them to Re.Use.Full to use at upcoming Repair Cafés! Contact us to arrange for your donation.
