What do you do with a broken toaster? Or a bike wheel that’s out of alignment … and what about a sweater with a few moth holes? Toss it? No way! Bring them to the Repair Café, where our fantastic volunteer repair team can assess and more than likely help you get your item repaired. And for those who want to give DIY a try, there will be tools and materials on hand for you to work on fixing some things yourself!

Still not sure what it's all about?  Watch our short video to learn more: https://youtu.be/7PsT6Jn-xZQ?si=0KGoqUG895eqVonP 

Got the tools and some time? If you’re a Handy Superhero like our mascot Reggie the Wrench Guy, we’d love to have you join our righteous repair quest. Repair Café ReImagine West Shore could use more handy volunteers and we’re looking for local residents with different skills who can serve as repair experts during our Repair Café meetings. Check out our Call to Handyfolk on our website and let us know if you can lend us a hand at an upcoming Repair Café!

Got broken stuff in need of repair, but don't know how to fix it yourself? Bring it along to ReImagine West Shore's Repair Café where you can get stuff fixed for free or by donation!
