UPCOMING EVENTS

Next Repair Café

Saturday, March 28th, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.,  Zion United Church, 215 Peel Street, New Hamburg.

Repair Cafes are events where community members can bring broken items, and volunteer ‘fixers’ will walk them through repairing them. NVEB’s Repair Cafe will have fixers for small household mechanical and woodworking repairs, mending for clothing, knit and crochet items, jewelry, and book repairs. Most materials, tools, and safety items will be provided by the Repair Cafe. However, if attendees have an item requiring specialized materials/tools, we encourage you to provide them yourself.

This free in-person community event is intended to reduce waste, pass on valuable skills, and foster community. There will also be refreshments and resources on repairs and sustainability. For more information, please send an e-mail to:  nvebrepaircafe@gmail.com

HELP WANTED!! We are looking for one or more licensed and insured electricians to volunteer their time and expertise at our Repair Café.  Currently, we are not able to do repairs on any electrical appliances because we do not have a volunteer electrician.  If you or someone you know has the necessary qualifications and would be interested in helping to do small electrical repairs for 3 hours on a Saturday, please contact us at nvecoboosters@gmail.com. Thank you!
