Groton Repair Cafe is Back!
Bring your broken items—shirts missing buttons, lamps with faulty switches, necklaces with lost clasps, or small appliances—and our skilled local volunteers will help repair them on the spot. At the Repair Café, volunteers with expertise in clothes, furniture, electronics, toys, and more will guide you in bringing new life to your items. This hands-on approach not only teaches valuable skills but also helps reduce waste, save money, and promote a culture of care.
