REPAIR CAFé
Toss it? No way! Bring it to a Repair Café.
Bring your beloved-but-broken items to this free community event, where volunteer Repair Specialists will work with you to fix them.
At a Repair Café, we share skills, reduce waste and make friends.
Our first Repair Cafés alternated between Bushel Collective in Delhi, and the United Methodist Church in Hobart. Then we expanded to Roxbury. People came with broken lamps, with wobbly chairs, with torn clothing, and they left with functional items that no longer had to gather dust in the corner.
In June of 2018, we had a Bicycle Repair Café at the Farmers’ Market in Hobart, which is every Friday from June to September, and which sits next to the Catskill Scenic Trail. About 35 people got their bikes tuned, tires inflated and brakes tightened.
