MAHOPAC, N.Y.—Sustainable Putnam’s quarterly Repair Café returns to Mahopac Middle School on Saturday, March 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The Repair Café brings together residents with broken household items and expert volunteers who will repair them for free. Attendees will also find free coffee, tea, and snacks.
Repairs can be made on lamps, clocks, toasters, small appliances, audio equipment, small furniture, clothing, bicycles, and more. If parts are needed and available, they are sold at cost.
Repairing items not only saves money but also keeps still usable goods out of landfills. To learn more or to preregister, visit sustainableputnam/repair-cafe or call 646-598-6560.
Organizers said they're also seeking people with relevant skills to volunteer as fixers:
“Are you handy around the house? Do you have skills in sewing, basic electrical repair or mechanical work? Volunteer repair coaches try to diagnose the problem and repair it. Work with an experienced repair coach to learn the ropes. Our repair coaches regularly consult with one another to problem-solve and share tips. It's fun and rewarding!”
Volunteers are provided with snacks and lunch. To volunteer, email volunteer@sustainableputnam.org or call 646-598-6560.
