Westside Repair Cafe-September 21

Once again the Westside Repair Café team (Our Time Bank & Transition Culver City) have joined forces with the Culver Palms United Methodist Church to help run the next "Regional" Repair Café!

The Westside Repair Café is a volunteer-run, community service dedicated to encouraging the repair and reuse of goods rather than relegating them to landfills.  This fun community event includes volunteers to help fix your broken stuff, a give-away table, a clothing swap, and a zero waste potluck (please bring food to share).

What to bring: Things to be fixed, such as...

Small household appliances like toasters, hair dryers, mixers, vacuums, etc.
Various electronics including computers, games, tools, audio/video, and other devices
Toys, furniture, lamps, kitchen items, fixtures, minor woodworking
Bicycles, tricycles, skateboards, scooters, skates
Clothing, shoes, luggage
Blade sharpening
Small plumbing items like faucets, valves, hoses, sprinklers
Most items suitable for general handyman types of repairs

If its too big to carry in, bring a picture and/or describe the problem to the volunteers, and they will make repair suggestions.  If you would like to volunteer to help at this event you do not need to be an expert fixer! Apprentices and those with an aptitude to learn are welcome to volunteer. If you can help with repairs, demonstrations, general staff support, etc. please consider signing up on their Doodle Poll (volunteers only please).

To help the volunteers to do the repairs as fast as possible, they ask that you send them an email at ourtimebank@gmail.com a week or two in advance describing the items you need repaired and their condition.

This event is co-sponsored by the City of Culver City through a Special Events Program Grant.  Consider taking a Culver CityBus to the event! With frequent service and direct connection to the Expo line, a Culver CityBus can make it easy to attend! Plan your trip online or by calling 310-253-6500.
