"Do you have any broken appliances, small pieces of furniture, clothes, accessories, bicycles, or toys at home? Don’t rush to throw them away! Come to Repair Café!

Repair Café is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization with a mission to reduce landfill waste by helping people repair items that would otherwise be discarded, thereby extending the lifespan of these items and fostering connections with care and compassion.

To date, hundreds of people have brought various broken household items to participate in the activities, where volunteers work with them to try and repair them.

Items repaired include:

Small Appliances (e.g., toasters, irons, vacuum cleaners)
Small Machinery (e.g., lawnmowers, lawn trimmers)
Electronic Products (e.g., clocks, DVD/CD players)
Computers and Related Equipment
Bicycles
Sewing and Textile Products
Costume Jewelry and Crafts
Lamps
Suitcases
Small Furniture

The activity is completely free, and Repair Café does not charge for repairs.

Maximum two items per person

No hemming services

Walk in are welcome, no appointment necessary

For questions, please call Tzu Chi at 408-457-6969.

Walk-ins are welcome, but your pre-registration will help with planning!"
