Give Your Beloved Items a Second Life. Is your favorite shirt missing a button? Broken lamp got you in the dark? Coffee frother lost its magic? Don't toss them – fix them for FREE at El Cerrito's Community Center Repair Workshop! This event is open to families and residents of West Contra Costa County at no cost; all ages are welcome.
When: Saturday, March 22, 2025 Time: 10 AM - 1 PM

Our skilled Repair Coaches are ready to help fix:

How it works: Simply bring your broken item to the workshop. You'll complete a quick ticket describing the issue, and we'll match you with a volunteer Repair Coach. The best part? You'll learn valuable repair skills as you watch and learn how to bring your item back to life. Most repair events have a success rate of an impressive 70-85%!
