About the Repair Café

Inspired by a movement from Amsterdam, the idea of the Repair Café is that volunteers from JJC and its community come together to offer their repair expertise to Joliet area residents for free! People can bring in items that are broken, get them repaired, and learn how to fix things themselves.
