Red Hook Repair Cafe - Fix It Free

A Repair Café is a free meeting place where people come together to repair "broken but beloved" things. We love keeping fixable things out of the landfill! We will have volunteers with repair skills ("Repair Coaches") in all kinds of fields ready to fix. Sometimes they can just provide advice, and sometimes more parts are needed than they have, but they have a good time trying!

For this Saturday, we have coaches covering most things: electrical/ mechanical, wood repair, lamps, computers, cell phones, jewelry, sewing technology help, clothing, soft toys, electronics, computers, zippers bikes, book binding. Knife sharpening will be available till 11:30am.
This month we are lucky to have Jay's Woodshop offering Chair Repair Demonstrations that repeat throughout the event.

The RHCC Clothes Closet will be open for donations and takings! See their website for appropriate items to donate. If you have the skills to be a repair coach, please reply to [email protected].  If you text me at 10am, I can confirm whether all coaches have arrived as planned - 845-464-8025

Red Hook residents (villages, too): don't forget that the Town has a Recycle Center for free residential recycling, composting (meat & bones, too), bulk metal and pay as you throw trash. More info (including a Bard Community Action Award student's guide on how to manage your materials in this region). We are also scheduling an e-waste day for 4/5 (to be confirmed) so if we can't fix it you can recycle it safely at that time.

For more information, call 845-464-8025, e-mail [email protected],
