GUILFORD, CT — "The popular Guilford #RepairCafe will return on Nov. 14, giving residents a chance to breathe new life into their beloved broken items.
"The event will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Guilford Community Center. Expert repair volunteers will be in attendance to fix a variety of broken items, including small household appliances, lamps, clothing, jewelry, electronics and more — all free of charge.
"Hosted by the #SustainableGuilford Task Force, the town said the "lively community gathering" allows participants to experience how sustainable practices give items a second life.
" 'By fixing items instead of throwing them away, Repair Cafe Guilford works to reduce waste, cut CO2 emissions from manufacturing and recycling, and helps Guilford build a more sustainable future,' Task Force Chair Terri Cain said in an announcement.
"While some complicated repairs may not be possible, repairers can offer advice to residents on their items, according to event organizer and Sustainable Guilford Task Force member Amy Kaneko.
"Attendees may bring up to two items for repairs, with repair time limited to 30 minutes per item. The repair cutoff is 4:30 p.m.
"The event will offer refreshments, coffee and tea, baked goods, and light snacks.
"For more information or questions about the event, contact [email protected] or visit the Facebook event page."
