Repair Cafe' of Knox County Ohio

02/21/2026

It came and it went.....another Repair Cafe' of Knox County Ohio. I'm sorry I didn't post in advance the event coming up. Right now doing disaster relief volunteer work in Florida.

Well, this past Saturday saw a little lighter repair load than usual.

We were blessed with some new repair volunteers we so desperately need. Please, if you like to fix things, drop a note and we'll get you on board.

The next Repair Cafe' is May 16th, Saturday from 1 to 4pm. The other two dates for 2026 are August 15th and November 14th.

Mark your calendar and dust off those broken items on your shelf and bring them in.

much repairs, Mark Tillack organizer locally

Hey folks! Dig this!!! I got a message from the international office of Repair Cafe' the read as follows....

Dear Repair Café coordinator,

It's time again for the monthly email! This month, we would like to highlight the Repair Café in the Classroom Starter Pack.

This pack was developed to introduce primary school children to mending. It provides Repair Café volunteers with all the tools they need to organize a series of lessons at a local primary school. The children will learn that repairing can be fun and easy. It's a great way to share your repair skills with the next generation!

Would you like to bring your Repair Café to the classroom in the near future? You can find more information about the lessons on our website. You can order the starter kit; a voluntary donation for it would be much appreciated.

Have fun repairing, and we'll see you next month!

Kind regards,

The Repair Café International team

Wow, did it really happen again?? Yup, Repair Cafe' of Knox County Ohio! We had a moderate day of repairs. Paper shredder, floor lamp, toys from Holmes County Developmental Center, foot massager, CD player, coffee maker, smart watches, and more. All went away with smiles! ****Attention: We really could use more repair volunteers. Please send them our way. Mark your calendar for August 16th and set aside those broken items now!
