Welcome to Repairathon

Join us for a day dedicated to reducing waste and fostering community spirit through the power of repair.

Whether it's a malfunctioning appliance, a glitchy electronic device, a cracked plastic item, or a sluggish computer, our team of skilled repair volunteers will be on hand to help breathe new life into your items. Best of all, our services are completely free!

Beyond just fixing things, Repairathon is a celebration of resourcefulness and collaboration. It's a chance to learn from one another, to discover the satisfaction of fixing instead of discarding, and to strengthen the bonds within our community.

So, gather your broken treasures and join us at Repairathon. Together, let's transform waste into opportunity and build a more sustainable future, one repair at a time.
