#PortlandME - #RipeForRepair Meetup

April 12 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Odd Fellows Hall
651 Forest Ave
Portland, Maine 04101 United States

"#RepairMeetups are free community events where people come together to help each other fix everything from small home appliances to damaged textiles.

They’re about celebrating under- appreciated skills and learning new ones, holding on to things that take a lot of resources to make but can quickly end up in landfills, and connecting with other humans. Experts, novices and curious spectators welcome!

#BCM will be in attendance with #PortlandGearHub to offer assistance with a wide variety of common bike repairs, like brake adjustments, tuning gears, fixing flat tires, lubricating chains, and removing wobbles from wheels."

Matthias has posted about fixing defective LEDs before, but this is probably the easiest (no soldering).

Cool! Repair Cafe around here!

Repair Cafe Santa Barbara

Join us for Repair Cafe Santa Barbara, a free, community-powered event where volunteers come together to fix broken treasures instead of tossing them away. Bring your worn-out clothes, appliances, toys, electronics, bikes, furniture, and more. The team of talented fixers will help you bring them back to life. This hands-on event is all about learning, sharing skills, and keeping items out of the landfill. This is not a drop-off service — we invite you to bring up to two broken items, roll up your sleeves, and take part in the repair process!

I fixed up an ancient, intolerably scratchy mixer only to realize that to actually use it I am going to have to build a dozen custom-length patchcords.

The headphone jack is on a separate board, and I only forgot one grounding strap the first time re-assembling it.

#NYC - #RepairCafé #ElBarrio is more than a place to reach out.

It’s a growing community built around repair, learning, and collective care.

Upcoming 2026 sessions:

Sundays
March 15th, April 19th, May 17th, June 28th, July 19th, August 16th, September 13th, October 18th, November 15th and December 13th

From 11 to 2pm
Location: at El Barrio Artspace PS109

"What is a Repair Café?
Repair Cafés are free, community-led events where volunteer experts help visitors diagnose and fix broken household items. They started in The Netherlands in 2009 and have now spread to cities and communities all around the world.

At Repair Café El Barrio, we most commonly repair vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, lamps, clocks, clothing, and audiovisual equipment (including computers and cameras). Our goal is to empower visitors with hands-on repair skills. We don’t just fix things for you — we work with you, side by side!

When & Where
We meet once a month in the main gallery of El Barrio Artspace at 215 East 99th Street. Each Sunday session runs from 11am to 2pm and is donation-based: pay what you wish. Enjoy coffee, fresh fruit, and other refreshments while repairing your items.

To participate, send us a photo and a short description of what you’d like to repair. Once confirmed, we’ll reserve your spot for that session."

#PeterboroughNH - #MAXTMakerspace #RepairCafe - March 14, 2026

Every Second Saturday
10 AM - 2 PM

MAXT Makerspace:
Noone Falls, 50 Jaffrey Road, Peterborough, NH, 03458

"What do you do with a broken toaster? Or with a bike when the wheel runs out of alignment? Or with a sweater full of moth holes? MAxT is organizing New Hampshire's first Repair Cafe on the 2nd Saturday of each month to help you fix what's broken.

Our volunteer repair experts will be available to help you make all possible repairs. Tools and materials will also be on hand. You can bring your broken items from home. Repair stations will include small electronics, clothing, bikes, furniture, toys and jewelry - anything that is broken is welcome and more than likely can be repaired!

By promoting repairs, MAxT MAkerspace wants to help reduce mountains of waste, put neighbors in touch with each other in a new way and discover that a lot of know-how and practical skills can be found close to home.

The event is free but donations to the repair cafe are encouraged to keep this event going."
