The Sturgeon Bay Repair Café is adding a festive flair to its upcoming December event with special holiday features designed to help residents save money and reduce waste during the gift-giving season.

The Repair Café will take place Saturday, December 20, from noon to 4 p.m. at Hope United Church, located at 141 South 12th Avenue in Sturgeon Bay. In addition to its usual free repair services, the December event will include a complimentary gift-wrapping station and a small gift swap table. Community members looking for last-minute holiday gifts are encouraged to bring an item to swap or have a broken but treasured item repaired and wrapped at no cost.

Organizers say the holiday additions offer an alternative to purchasing new items, helping residents stay within budget while giving meaningful, sustainable gifts.

The Sturgeon Bay Repair Café is held on the third Saturday of every month and is always free and open to the public. While there is no charge to attend, visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation for local food pantries. Monetary donations are also welcome to help support the volunteer-run program.
