JeffCo Repair: Because we all have stuff...and stuff breaks
JeffCo Repair hosts free community repair events serving East Jefferson County (Washington). JeffCo's coordinator, Mandi Johnson, shares why these events are about so much more than fixing broken stuff.
More about repair events:
Repair Cafés and similar events like Fix-its and Repair Fairs, bring communities together to mend all sorts of items for neighbors and strangers alike, from clothing, to bikes, to appliances, and electronics.
Events are free and open to all regardless of repair skill. Come as a fixer, a repair-seeker, or a curious observer - you might just find your own way to contribute (it takes a variety of skills to put on repair events, after all!).

So true that whoever you are you need things repaired for whatever reason you need and want it to be repaired. Very cool thanks for making this!
Thanks! Very helpful to hear all the perspectives. About to start work with a creative reuse group.
