Fix-It Fairs

ToolBox Project has partnered with the City of Eugene and Lane County to continue hosting Fix-It Fairs, events that invite the community to get items repaired at no cost. Volunteers and professionals provide free repairs at these events and provide assistance to attendees interested in learning how to make their own repairs.

Repair services are available for a variety of products, such as small appliances (like lamps and toasters), tools, clothing and textiles, small electronics, home and garden tools, furniture, and toys.

These events are FREE and open to everyone! First-come, first-served.  One item per person, please.

Why repair?

• Repair is a viable option in Eugene. We have a community of repair professionals to help fix our broken stuff.
• Repair shops keep money in our local economy and support local families.
• Repairing broken items gives you more options than simply throwing them away.
• Repair is empowering--you can learn a new skill and bring new life to your favorite things.

So far, five large Fix it Fair events have been produced, including a Spanish language Fix it event.  At Fix it Fairs, over 600 community members have been assisted with about 70% of items brought to these events being repaired. To date, we have kept over 3,000 pounds of stuff out of the landfill.
