Fix-It Clinic - Olmsted County

Need something repaired? Bring it to a Fix-It Clinic! 

We’ll have experienced menders and fixers on site to help you repair and restore items—absolutely free.

Whether it’s a favorite jacket, a pair of worn-out jeans, or anything in between, our skilled volunteers will do their best to repair it, while teaching you how to do it yourself. In addition to textiles, we can also help with small appliances, electronics, and toys.

No pre-registration required.

• Items should be carry-in size for hands-on repair.
• First-come, first-served. Limit 2 items per household.
• Items accepted until 30 minutes before the event ends.

Non-accepted items

• Large items that cannot be carried by one person. 

• Items with gasoline engines.

• Smartphones and tablets.

• Items needing a full zipper replacement (this repair isn’t available during the event due to time constraints, however some smaller zipper repairs can be done).
