Our second-ever Repair Cafe was a success! We had 33 visitors with broken items. Thank you again to Liverpool Public Library and the Institute for Sustainability Engagement for your partnership. Most importantly: thank you to our 16 volunteers for devoting your time, skills, and energy this weekend.

We are FULL for our Repair Cafe tomorrow and registration has been closed. Thank you to everyone who signed up to visit the Repair Cafe tomorrow and bring in a broken item. We are so excited to put on another event, and our volunteers are looking forward to meeting you!

Excited to share that our northern CNY neighbor, Organize Oswego, is hosting another Fix it Clinic this Saturday!

What is a Fix It Clinic? It's similar to a Repair Cafe, just named something different! It is still a free, community-based repair event of neighbors helping neighbors.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped us to have a successful, fun first event last Saturday!! We served 16 attendees and were able to fix 19 of 24 broken items that were brought in (a fix rate of 79%)!!

Interested in helping out with a future event? Contact us at cnyrepaircafe@gmail.com

We are excited to announce that our upcoming Repair Cafe on Saturday is SOLD OUT!! Thanks to all who signed up, and to everyone who will be volunteering at the event. We look forward to seeing you in just two days!

Stay up to date here and on our other socials (@repaircafecny) for future events!

Happy Earth Week!

Celebrate our Earth by keeping things out of the landfill, reducing natural resource extraction, cutting emissions and pollution generated from manufacturing, and creating resilient local communities--all of which can be done through repair!

This #WITDay, we're celebrating Martine Postma, the activist and former journalist who started the Repair Café movement.

“More and more people don’t feel good about our throw-away society," Postma says. "[They] don’t throw away because they want to, but because they don’t know what else to do.” 🔗👇
