Note: The April 25th Poughkeepsie Repair Cafe is canceled. All Repair Cafes in our region—and indeed worldwide—are suspended until we all get through this.

Bring your beloved but broken item to the community room of First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poughkeepsie.
Co-sponsored by Poughkeepsie Friends Meeting
Please bring a food item for St. Paul's Pantry.
Other usual Repair Stations Include—but not limited to—Mechanical, electrical, electronic. Lamps and vacuums. Clothing & textiles. Jewelry. Things made of wood. Digital devices. And (love this) Lost Manual Look-up!
Plus the bike enthusiasts from sPOKe of Poughkeepsie will be will us again to repair/tuneup your bicycle. "Working to promote the use of bicycles as a means of transportation in the city of Poughkeepsie. Improving Poughkeepsie one bicycle at a time."
And our supervised Kids Take-Apart Area.
In our "Cafe" we'll have coffee & tea for free, and sweet & savory bakery treats for a donation.
