Bring your broken electronic items such as toasters, vacuum cleaners, mixers, clocks, lamps, and more for repair! A crew of skilled volunteers will work to repair your beloved, yet broken items for FREE.

Repair Cafe is part of an international movement that began in 2009 in Holland to limit the stuff that ends up in landfills. There are more than 1,000 repair cafes worldwide, with 23 in the United States. The repair success rate at all the cafes is 60 percent! The cafe does not turn down anyone and repairs don’t cost a cent!

Repair Cafes attract people from many different backgrounds. Are you a problem solver too or do you want to become one? Consider becoming a volunteer at a Repair Cafe. Please reach out to McLouis Robinet at mrobinet@ameritech.net to join the crew. For more information, learn more at the Repair Cafe Oak Park.
