Repair Cafe on Giving Tuesday

A Repair Cafe is a free event that promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things out. Members of the public are invited to bring in household items in need of repair, and skilled volunteers are ready to help get them back into working condition. The NRV Timebank and Habitat for Humanity of the NRV have partnered to bring this innovative program to our region. The first Repair Cafe was held in October 2017 at the Habitat Restore in Christiansburg, featuring assistance with the following: small appliance repair, sewing, knife sharpening, furniture repair, and computer support. Since  then, the partnering organizations have worked to provide this popular service to the community on a biannual basis, resulting in hundred's of household items remaining in service, rather than ending up in landfills. Your donation  will help to ensure that we can continue to offer this valuable service to your community.
