Rockland Repair Café to mend broken items on June 11

Do you have an object around the home or office that needs to be repaired? If so, then get ready for the Rockland Repair Café on June 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Rockland County Fire Training Center in Pomona.

The event pairs Repair Coaches, who are community members with fix-it know-how, and people who bring in items to be fixed such as lamps, computers, clothing, frames, small appliances, wooden items, toys and electronics.

Anything that can be carried in by an individual will be considered for repair, except for items with gas engines. Repair Coaches will assess your item and fix it for free, provided they have the materials needed on-hand.

“The benefits of this partnership are extensive and transformational; preserving repair know-how skills by passing them on to the younger generation is critical to Rockland”™s shared future,” said Rockland County Executive Ed Day. “I ask that you join me in this important initiative because only by working together, fostering a true sense of community, can we complete the renaissance that we have begun in this county.”
