We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it’s cheaper to replace rather than repair them or we just don’t know how to fix it. We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it’s cheaper to replace rather than repair them 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.
Join us for a Repair Cafe at Shawnee Town Hall
We’ll be doing fixes for items such as:
- Clothing/textiles
- Computers (Virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
- Electronics
- Jewelry
- Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on handmixers, toasters, irons, etc.)
Please note: To help minimize the wait for everyone, we’ll have a limit of 1 item per repair category (e.g., 1 shirt) and a total of 3 items per turn (e.g., 1 shirt, 1 lamp and 1 bracelet). We welcome you to stay for additional turns if you have more items in need of fixing!
Get Involved
If you’re someone who enjoys tinkering or problem-solving to get something working again or loves to organize, we’re looking for volunteers! Sign up here: https://signup.com/go/SKKFbhn
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 at hello@reusefull.org to arrange for your donation.
That’s where Repair Cafés come in! There are now more than 3,200 Repair Cafés across the world, and we’ll be hosting more of these free meeting places where you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need to clothes, furniture, small appliances, computers, lamps, bicycles, jewelry and more you bring from home.
You’ll also find people with a variety of repair skills to help out. Together with these volunteers, you can have your broken items repaired instead of needing to replace your broken items.
