Santa Rosa Repair Fair
Do you have a lamp, small appliance, textile, computer, or bike in need of repair?
Bring it to the Repair Fair!
Volunteers and specialized repair professionals will be on-hand to repair* your items. We ask that you stay with your item while it's being fixed, so you can learn tips for future maintenance, how to shop for repairable goods, and even how to repair things yourself!
If you’d like to bring an item to repair, please register the item here. Pre-registering allows us to prepare for your item.
This is a free public event.
*We cannot guarantee your item(s) will be repaired, depending on the existing damage or breakage, ability of volunteer fixers, and availability of materials for repair.
Does fixing things sound like a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon? Or want to help out in other ways? We need you! Email volunteer@reusealliance.org or sign up (https://volunteersignup.org/RKMJ8) to get involved!
