Interested in volunteering at Fix it Fair?

Fix-It Fair is a free event hosted by the Station North Tool Library and open to the public. At Fix-It Fair, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make common repairs on clothes, furniture, leather items, bikes, etc.

Experienced volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields, will be on-site to assist people with their repairs.

Want to host your own Fix-It Fair, or collaborate on an event?


HOW DOES IT WORK?

Visitors bring their broken items from home and work with volunteer "fixers" to diagnose and make repairs. Working together to fix broken items becomes an interactive and ongoing learning process!

Visitors will work with our fixers to learn how to repair their items. We provide most materials for common fixes and hands-on instruction.

We make no guarantee of repairs and longer, more in-depth repairs may be referred to a local repair service.

We can guarantee we will try our best to help with your fixes!


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

This is a FREE event!

Repair advice and materials are free for common fixes. 

However, larger, more specialized repairs (like new brakes on a bicycle or a new zipper in a dress) may require the purchase of additional parts. Due to the nature of this free event, we cannot guarantee that volunteer "fixers" will have the required parts available for purchase or be able to make these repairs in a timely fashion. We will try our best to help with all your fixes and repairs!
