Dare to Repair

September 16, 2023 @ 11:00 am 2:00 pm

Dare to Repair Cafe is a popup community event where you can bring a broken item and work with a team of fixers to try and repair the item for free.

The goal is to share repair skills, save money, and keep things in circulation and out of the landfill for as long as possible. 

Fall 2023 Schedule:

  • September 16, 11am-2pm – Elaine M. Panty Branch Library (Riverside), 820 Tonawanda St., Buffalo
  • October 21, 11am-2pm – Orchard Park Library, S-4570 South Buffalo St., Orchard Park

  • December 9, 11:30am-2:30pm – North Park Library, 975 Hertel Ave., Buffalo

Not all fixers can make every event, so registering ahead of time helps ensure there is someone who can fix your item. Replacement parts are limited, so bring ‘em if ya got ‘em!

  • Small appliances
