Fix-It Clinic - Sherburne County

Sherburne County Residents! Do you have broken items like small appliances, toys, clothes or other items at home? Bring them to the Fix-It Clinic! Skilled volunteers will help you figure out what's wrong with your item and show you how to repair it. You'll get hands on help, learn useful repair skills, prevent items from being thrown away, and save money.
