Dare to Repair Cafe
2026-03-07 11:00 - 14:00 | NY
Got something that’s broken? Fix it, Don’t ditch it!

Our Dare to Repair Cafes are community fix-it events where people can bring in broken household items and work alongside a team of volunteer fixers to try to repair the item for free!
We’re reducing waste by connecting those with a need to those with the know-how. By saving people money, diverting usable items from landfills, and teaching basic repair skills, Dare to Repair is helping to build the circular economy right here in WNY.
Current repair categories include:

Small appliances
Small electronics
Clothing & textiles
Lamps
Sewing machines
Vacuums
Bicycles
Furniture
Sharpening

We try our best to accommodate most repairs, but not all of our fixers can make every event. We appreciate your patience and understanding as Dare to Repair is largely volunteer-powered.

*We are unable to work on gas-powered items, TVs, cellphones, or microwaves
