Nuns’ Islands first Repair Café

Join us in 2026 for a Repair Café, where neighbors come together to fix broken items, share skills, and reduce waste! Bring your electronics, clothing, small appliances, or furniture, and our volunteers will help you repair them—for free! Let’s build a more sustainable, connected community, one repair at a time. Everyone is welcome!
