🔧♻️ FREE REPAIR CAFÉ IS BACK IN MADISON! ♻️🔧
Madison Rotary, Grace Church & Repair Café Team Up for Our 7th Repair Café!
Have something at home that needs fixing? Don’t throw it away — bring it to the Repair Café! 🛠️
Join us on Saturday, October 10th, from 11 AM–3 PM at Grace Church, 4 Madison Ave., Madison, NJ, for a FREE community repair event!
Our talented volunteer repairers will help you get your valued items back in working order — and they'll even show you how the repairs are done and what tools are needed!
🛠️ WHAT CAN WE REPAIR?
We can help with many household items, including:
💡 Lamps
🚲 Bicycles
👕 Clothing & fabric items
📱 Phones & computers
🔌 Small appliances
🪵 Wooden items
⌚ Watches needing batteries
💍 Jewelry
🔪 Knives needing sharpening
🧸 Toys
…and many other types of repairs!
👨👩👧👦 BRING THE KIDS!
Our popular Kids’ Take-Apart Table will be back! Kids can safely take apart everyday items under supervision, discover what's inside, and learn how to use tools. 🔧
🌎 REPAIR • REUSE • KEEP IT OUT OF THE LANDFILL
Repairing instead of replacing saves money, reduces waste, and keeps useful items out of landfills. It’s also a great way to meet neighbors from Madison and surrounding communities!
Our previous events have brought in more than 200 items, with a team of approximately 40 volunteers getting most of them working again. Past repairs have included everything from lamps and dull knives to teddy bears, bird feeders — and even giant skulls! 💀😂
⏰ IMPORTANT DETAILS
📅 Saturday, October 10th
🕚 11:00 AM–3:00 PM
📍 Grace Church — 4 Madison Ave., Madison, NJ
🎟️ FREE — First come, first served!
Please note: Our last repair starts at 2:30 PM, so arrive early if possible.

If you know what you'll be bringing, it’s helpful to email ahead of time with a description of the item — but otherwise, just show up!
❤️ WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
We're always looking for new volunteers! Whether you're an experienced repairer with your own tools or you'd like to help with logistics and organization, we'd love to have you.
Volunteers have ranged from their teens to their eighties, making this a wonderful feel-good community event where you can learn, help your neighbors, and make new friends.
