After having a lamp re-wired at Beacon, New York’s Repair Cafe, Elizabeth Knight determined to start the first one in Orange County. Warwick hosted its first Repair Cafe in November 2016.

The town of Warwick contains three villages (Florida, Greenwood Lake, and Warwick) and eight hamlets (Amity, Bellvale, Edenville, Little York, New Milford, Pine Island, and Sterling Forest). Our cafe draws folks seeking repairs from up to 19 towns in three states. Our congenial coaches travel from 9 towns.

“People were so pleased to have help with their broken items. They were also able to get tips about doing their own repairs. And best of all, we stood around talking with each other…the cafe creates a wonderful feeling of community, as well as keeping items out of the landfill.” ~ Mary Makofske, former Sustainable Warwick Steering Committee Member

Warwick’s cafe is held in the Senior Center at Warwick’s Town Hall.
