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 (no alterations, please)
- Computers (Virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
- Electronics
- Jewelry
- Lamps
- Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on handmixers, toasters, irons, etc.)
*Limit of 1 item per turn and 3 items total. Stay for additional turns if volunteers are available to help.
Clothing Swap:
This Repair Café will feature a clothing swap where you can bring your clothing to trade with others—spruce up your closet the sustainable way!
BONUS FEATURE — BOOK & BICYCLE DRIVE:
We’ll be collecting books for our Charity Partner, Friends of the Johnson County Library, at this event, so round up those books you no longer want or need and bring them to the Repair Café and Clothing Swap! Johnson County Christmas Bureau will be on hand to collect bikes.
Volunteers needed!
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/YrmjcbE
Tools welcome!
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.
