Repairing things – instead of replacing them or throwing them away – is a way to save money and also helps keep waste out of landfills. That's the idea behind the Fix-It �þ���ҹ����ӰԺ��ѹۿ� Community Repair Workshop, a special event at which community volunteers who are good at fixing things work one-on-one with people who bring in broken or non-working items.

So, not only can people get repairs done to clothing, electronics, small appliances, furniture and more – they gain confidence in learning how to do repairs themselves, with guidance from the volunteers. 

Fix-It �þ���ҹ����ӰԺ��ѹۿ� is happening from 4-8 p.m. on Sept. 18 in �þ���ҹ����ӰԺ��ѹۿ�'s Design Innovation Hub.

Fix-it �þ���ҹ����ӰԺ��ѹۿ� is hosted by the KSU Design Innovation (DI) Initiative in partnership with Fix-It CLE, a program from Circular Cleveland, an initiative of Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and the City of Cleveland, in collaboration with Neighborhood Connections.
