Repair Fair #4 – Philly Fixers Guild

• Members of the community are welcome to bring in any item that’s broken or damaged. This includes almost anything; even clothing and jewelry.
• A volunteer Fixer will put you to work as they provide guidance in how to repair or mend. The guests learn how to troubleshoot and make repairs, leading the way to more self-reliance in fixing things at home.

The primary objective of the Guild is to shift our conventional wisdom that broken items should necessarily be thrown out and replaced. Repair Fairs are not intended to be a free repair service. Instead they serve as a means to inform and educate people in troubleshooting and repair. The eventual goal being to enable folks to repair and mend things without assistance. Ultimately, less garbage will be generated while more resources and money will be saved.
