Sturgeon Bay’s monthly Repair Café took place Saturday afternoon, at Hope United Church of Christ in Sturgeon Bay. Inviting peninsula residents to bring broken belongings for free repair. Hosted every third Saturday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., the event gives volunteers and visitors the chance to work side-by-side to fix everything from clothing and jewelry to furniture, lamps, small appliances and toys.  

Organized as a nonprofit, volunteer-run initiative under Sustain Door, the Repair Café has helped bring hundreds of items back to life since its inception last summer, all while building community skills.  

If you come in for a repair or just a consultation, you are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation for local food banks or a voluntary monetary contribution to support the program.  

If you have a knack for repairs and are interested in volunteering, your expertise is needed. From sewing and electronics to woodworking and tool repair, stop in, or simply sign up through the Café’s social media pages to help future events.
