Teton Repair Cafe

Teton Repair Café is modeled after the international Repair Café movement, which works to keep treasured items out of the landfill while building skills and community along the way. Give your broken treasure a second chance at International Repair Day! Saturday, October 17, Teton Repair Cafe, Teton County Library, Jackson Bring one item, and volunteers will help you fix it. Check the website to find out what we are fixing at the next event. Examples of items we fix…. Clothing & Textile Repair Bring torn clothing or clothing with missing buttons Bring sweaters or socks needing darning Jewelry Repair Simple fixes replacing a broken clasp, soldering a snapped chain, or tightening loose gemstones Lamp Repair Bring your broken lamps, and we will work together to diagnose and fix Reduce waste, connect with the community and keep reusable goods in circulation. _______________________________________________________________ Our first Café in June was a HUGE success with 17 volunteers and over 50 items repaired! We're expecting an even bigger turnout this time, which means we need more hands on deck! Whether you can sew on a button, replace a frayed electrical cord, fix a wobbly stool, or just love a good puzzle, there’s a place for you at our workbench. We are seeking volunteers with repair skills in the following: • Light Furniture Repair • Sewing • Toys & Small Electronics • Jewelry & Eyewear Repair • Lamps, Lighting & Other Electrical Appliances • Outdoor Gear Repair • Not a "fixer"? Not a problem! We're also looking for event support superstars to help with greeting attendees, transport, photography, and celebrating repairs! Ready to Join the Volunteer Team?
