Got something that’s broken? Fix it, Dont ditch it!


The Dare to Repair Cafes are community fix-it events where people can bring in broken household items and work alongside a team of volunteer fixers to try to repair the item for free!

We’re reducing waste by connecting those with a need to those with the know-how. By saving people money, diverting usable items from landfills, and teaching basic repair skills, Dare to Repair is helping to build the circular economy right here in WNY.

Current repair categories include:

  • Small appliances
  • Small electronics
  • Clothing & textiles
  • Laptops (no screen repairs)
  • Lamps
  • Sewing machines
  • Vacuums
  • Bicycles
  • Furniture
  • Sharpening
 
We try our best to accomodate most repairs, but not all of our fixers can make every event. We appreciate your patience and understanding as Dare to Repair is largely volunteer-powered.
 
*We are unable to work on gas-powered items, TVs, cellphones, or microwaves*
