Repair Cafes are monthly gatherings that bring together volunteer fixers and folks with broken things that need fixing. These free events not only give a 2nd life to broken objects, but also build community and allow for skill sharing.

Community Repair Cafes

Located centrally in Cashmere, this community hub promotes circular sustainability, DIY empowerment, and inclusivity. We’re on a mission to extend the lifespan of building materials, reduce environmental impact, and provide low-cost, equitable means to building.
