The public can bring broken items to fix on the spot with the help of volunteers during the next Repair Cafe OC event from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday, May 16 at the Norman P. Murray Center, 24932 Veterans Way.
This initiative promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things away. Bring your broken lamps, bikes with a wobble or jeans with a hole – and repair volunteers will help you fix them.
Volunteers are sought from 8 am to 1 pm and can sign up at this link.
Neighbors with items in need of repair don’t need to pre-register. All items are repaired on a walk-in basis, with last item accepted at noon. The event takes place in the community center’s Sycamore A Room.
