Repair Cafe West Shore and Holiday Decor Swap and Shop

What do you do with a broken toaster or a sweater full of moth holes? Toss it? No way! Bring them to the Repair Cafe, where our fantastic volunteer repair team can assess and more than likely help you get your item repaired for free or by donation. And you can grab a tasty free snack and chat with other folks while you wait!
Special Notes: We DO NOT accept gas-powered items (for repair or the swap and shop). We also ask that you make sure your item(s) are wiped down/cleaned before requesting a repair (we don’t want our repair heroes needing to clean out dirty vacuums before they can try to repair them for you).
Got the tools and some time?
If you’re a Handy Superhero like our mascot Reggie the Wrench Guy, we’d love to have you join our righteous repair quest. Repair Cafe ReImagine West Shore could use more handy volunteers and we’re looking for local residents with different skills who can serve as repair experts during our Repair Cafe meetings. Check out our Call to Handyfolk and let us know if you can lend us a hand at an upcoming Repair Cafe!
Holiday Decor Swap and Shop
This Repair Cafe is paired with a Holiday Decor Swap and Shop where folks can bring their Fall and Winter holiday decorations that are clean and still in good working order, and looking for new homes. Folks can drop-off their donations at Gordon United Church ahead of the Swap and Shop from Wednesday to Friday, September 23-25, from 10am to 2:30pm. Thank you to our good friends at Gordon United for kindly making this drop-off opportunity possible.
