Expertise varies by cafe but in general, we will have repairs like lamps and small appliances, toys, small furniture, and more.

So, what exactly are we doing at the Corning Repair Cafe on Saturday? Here's a handy graphic to figure out what you can bring and what we can work on.

Diagnosis of a problem will be our first priority. What is broken? What is wrong? Can we fix it?

Then we will get to work on troubleshooting the repair. We can't promise you'll walk away with a functioning item, but we will sure try our hardest!

See you at the Emanuel Lutheran Church on April 25 from 12-4pm.
