Get your broken stuff ready! Sustainable Charlotte will be hosting the next Repair Cafe' on Saturday September 30. So what exactly is a Repair Cafe'? It's a 4 hour community party of talented local folks that will volunteer their handy skills to repair your broken stuff. Just bring your broken things to the Repair Cafe' and watch and learn as the handy folks do their magic. In addition to fixing, we hope to…
• promote and teach the lost art of repair to all ages
• keep perfectly good stuff out of the landfill
• build our Town's sense of community by working together to meet each other's needs.

Got something different to fix? We are up for challenges! Got something different to offer the festivities? Email me.
There is no charge for our repairer's labor. If your repair requires new part(s) you are responsible for buying those parts and bringing them. We do ask that attendees, if able, bring a food or monetary donation to the Charlotte Food Shelf. Also, come hungry… home-baked goods, lunch, and drinks will be for sale. Lastly, do you have a repair or creative skill you want to offer? Email me!
