Repair

**THE MARCH 14 REPAIR EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED**

The ReUse Committee organizes Community RePair events, where local, volunteer "Fixperts" are matched with City of Northampton residents who need things fixed. Participants are invited to bring a household item in need of repair and a member of the assembled Fixpert team will attempt to fix it free of charge.  Please note that participants are required to sign an acknowledgement form and stay with their item while it is being worked on (it is not a drop off-style event).  About seven days before each event, we’ll post a list of skills (below) that we’ll have available.  Check back as the date draws closer; the most accurate list will be available the day before the event.

Both the volunteer resources and the items brought in for repair vary from event to event.
