Four upcoming opportunities to fix your stuff for free and save items from the landfill. Plus, repair cafe coaches are really fun to hang out with…

Expertise varies by cafe but in general, we will have repairs like lamps and small appliances, toys, small furniture, and more.

This beautiful Knights of Columbus ring came through and we just knew we had to prolong its life. @suziefromer and some other repairers consulted and decided on a path forward. #Repaircafe taken in Emanuel Lutheran Church by @corningrepaircafe

So, what exactly are we doing at the Corning Repair Cafe on Saturday? Here's a handy graphic to figure out what you can bring and what we can work on.
Diagnosis of a problem will be our first priority. What is broken? What is wrong? Can we fix it?
Then we will get to work on troubleshooting the repair. We can't promise you'll walk away with a functioning item, but we will sure try our hardest!
