Free fixes are back! The #ToolLibrary expands its #DareToRepair Café program in 2025

By Darren Cotton, February 3, 2025

"Have broken stuff? Instead of throwing it out, consider attending one of The Tool Library’s free Dare to #RepairCafés this February or March.

"These events cut waste and build community: At each Dare to Repair, people can bring in broken objects like lamps, vacuums, bicycles, toys, clothing, sewing machines, PCs, laptops, and small electronics to be repaired — free of charge — by volunteer fixers. By following along during repairs, attendees can learn the skills they need to fix things on their own.

"The Tool Library, in partnership with #BuffaloRecycles, will host two Dare to Repair Cafés per month in 2025 — adding weeknight events to existing weekend programming — thanks to new funding from the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute and State Sen. Sean Ryan.

March 2025 dates:

- Saturday, March 1, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lancaster Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway, Lancaster, 14086

- Thursday, March 13, from 5-7 p.m. at the Delavan-Grider Community Center, 877 E. Delavan Ave., Buffalo, 14215

"Anyone interested in bringing appliances or household items to be repaired is strongly encouraged to fill out the registration form in advance."

#RepairCafes Are the Beating Heart of the #RightToRepair Movement

"To date, our #DareToRepair Cafes in #BuffaloNY have led to the repair of more than 800 items, 7,554 pounds diverted from #landfills, and more than $40,000 in savings for community members."

"While such right-to-repair legislation is crucial to broader systemic change, it’s the patchwork of local repair movements independently popping up — in New York state and across the country — that is changing hearts and minds when it comes to waste and giving us hope that a different world is possible."
