Local volunteers will help repair your broken stuff – for FREE!
Has your blender lost its whirl? Hole in your favorite jeans? Broken clasp on your best bracelet? Bring us your small household appliances, sewing repairs, jewelry repairs, and small furniture that need a little work.
Volunteers with the Environmental Center’s Rethink Waste Project will come and help guide the repair of small appliances or devices that no longer function.

Ripped backpack? Busted toaster? Wobbly coffee table? Don’t just replace it, repair it!
On November 18th, from 5:30 – 7:30 pm, Bend Habitat ReStore and The Environmental Center’s Rethink Waste Project are hosting another Repair Café – a free event that brings together people who like to fix things, with people who have stuff that needs fixing. Volunteers will be on hand to repair – and share a skill or two!
Attendees are asked to bring broken items and any replacement parts they think might be needed. There is no guarantee all broken items can be repaired that evening – more research may be needed, a part may need to be ordered – but the volunteers will do their best with what they have. Here’s what we have volunteers on hand to repair:

Clothes and other fabric goods
Knit goods
Small appliances
Electronics
Backpacks and other outdoor gear
Small furniture
Jewelry (small repairs)
