On the Menu in New York: One Repair, Coming Right Up

Monthly “repair cafes” aim to bring neighbors together while keeping all manner of items out of the trash.

These community events provide a welcoming space for people to gather, share skills, and extend the life of their belongings. Whether it’s a broken toaster, a torn jacket, or a wobbly chair, volunteers are on hand to help fix a wide variety of items.

By encouraging repair over disposal, repair cafes not only reduce waste but also foster a spirit of collaboration and sustainability within neighborhoods. Attending a repair cafe is a great way to meet new people, learn useful skills, and contribute to a greener environment.
