Staunton Repair Café & Community Tech Lab — Second Event

Fix things. Learn skills. Build community.

Got something broken? Curious about tech? Want to meet neighbors who know how to fix things?

Join us for the second Staunton Repair Café & Community Tech Lab: a hands-on, community-powered event where people come together to repair everyday items, share knowledge, and connect.

Bring your broken items, your questions, or just your curiosity. We’ll have volunteer-led stations including:

• Repair Table (small appliances, tools, lamps, household items)
• Electronics & Laptop Help
• Mesh Networking & Radio
• Linux & Privacy Tools
• Sewing & Mending

No experience required, just a willingness to learn or help.

This is our second event, so expect a little chaos, a little confusion, and a lot of learning. That’s part of the process.

The goal is simple:

• Connect people who have skills with people who need help
• Create a space where neighbors can meet and collaborate
• Start building relationships that continue beyond the event

Ideally, you’ll leave not just with something fixed (or closer to it), but with new connections — people you might trade skills with, collaborate with, or simply get to know.

Participants can earn hOUR economy time bank credits by:

• Helping repair items
• Teaching skills

These credits can be exchanged for help from others in the community.

Too many things get thrown away.
Too many skills go unused.

When neighbors repair things together, we build something bigger than the fix — we build community.

You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to bring anything (though you’re encouraged to!). Just show up.

Let’s figure it out together — and improve as we go.
