Sustainable Practices Build Community

Southern Peninsula Repair Cafe

Our volunteers help repair broken items, so they don’t need to go to landfill.
Check Times

Revive, Fix, Mend, Connect!

Join us at our regular Repair Cafe, where community meets sustainability! Here, dedicated volunteers come together to help you breathe new life into your cherished items—whether it’s a favorite shirt, a beloved chair, or a malfunctioning gadget.

Bring your broken items and connect with our skilled fixers, who are ready to share their expertise and passion for repair. Our welcoming environment encourages learning and creativity, as you’ll not only witness the magic of mending but also gain valuable skills to take home. We have a specialist in Bike Repair & Maintenance who will be scheduling times for workshops on basic maintenance – check our Facebook page for information.

By choosing to repair instead of discard, you’ll be part of a collective effort to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. Together, we can keep your items out of landfills and foster a culture of sustainability in our community.

Join us for a day of hands-on repair, community connection, and eco-friendly practices. Let’s work together to make our world a little greener—one repair at a time!
