Program Description

Event Details

Repair Cafe is an international movement that encourages people to fix their broken items, rather than disposing of them or throwing them away. Volunteer repair coaches teach participants the skills needed in order to fix items like clothing, small appliances, toys, furniture, and more! 

Join us for our first-ever Repair Cafe on Saturday, May 9th from 11am-3pm! Bring items that you would like to fix, or come by to learn more about basic repairs and DIY. Tools and commonly needed materials for repairs are provided. 

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to fix everything, but we can promise that you'll have a great time and will learn a lot from the experience. 

Online registration is for participants who want an item repaired. If you'd like to sign up to be a volunteer repair coach, please contact us at 630-834-116 or email Gisela at gparker@vppl.info
