Fix-it Fair Community Repair Event

Bring clean items, along with any relevant manuals or parts, to the event. Bring up to two items such as:

• clothing
• small appliances
• lamps
• vacuums
• jewelry
• small electronics
• small welding jobs
• bikes (minor repairs)

The volunteer fixers will attempt repairs and share their knowledge, helping you learn valuable repair skills.

Fix-it consultations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. All participants must check in at the welcome table by 12:30pm and be present during repairs. While our volunteer fixers will do their best, successful repairs cannot be guaranteed. Fixers will attempt repairs on one item at a time. If there's time, you can join the line again with your second item. Learn more general fix-it fair details here. Questions? Contact: hdowey@gmail.com.

The Fix-it Fair welcomes both participants and volunteers. If you have repair skills to share or wish to support this community initiative, please email Heather Dowey. 

This collaborative initiative between Sustainable Bainbridge and BARN, with support from the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island, promotes sustainability, waste reduction, and community skill-sharing while helping participants extend the life of their belongings. It embodies commitment to building a more sustainable Kitsap community by promoting repair over replacement, reducing waste, and fostering a circular economy. By participating, you'll join a neighbor-to-neighbor network that values skill-sharing and helps preserve essential repair knowledge for future generations.
