Repair Cafe

Open the first Saturday of every month, 10:00A-1:30P at Fox Center (624 S Oak Park Ave)

Toss it? No way! The Oak Park Repair Café meets the first Saturday of the month at Fox Center. Repair coaches will be available to help you fix anything from small appliances to torn clothing.

The Oak Park Repair Café is free and open to the public; since we started in 2013 we’ve kept over 700 items out of the landfill!

Given the increase in volume we request each guest bring one item for repair.

Thank you, and looking forward to seeing you there!
