WHAT GETS FIXED AT A REPAIR CAFE?

We are working on an FAQ page, but for now, here’s a simple one-pager about what typically gets fixed at one of our repair cafes.

And here is a fantastic booklet from the Rivertowns Repair Cafe in Hastings that gives a summation of what a repair cafe is all about.

ABOUT US

Born in Amsterdam in 2009, the Repair Cafe concept was brought to New Paltz by volunteer organizer John Wackman in 2013. His dedication, enthusiasm and success inspired others to launch Repair Cafe events in their communities which eventually became the Repair Cafe Hudson Valley (RCHV) network, now a program of the non-profit organization Sustainable Hudson Valley.

If you are interested in bringing a repair cafe to your community, we are happy to share this basic “How to Start a Repair Cafe” guide. You should also contact Repair Cafe Foundation for many more helpful resources.
