Fix-It Clinics
Have broken stuff lying around? Don't trash it - fix it!
Sign up for the in person fix-it clinic to meet with an expert fixer to repair your favorite items. Get help repairing clocks, vacuums, clothing, lamps, bikes and much more! Registering ahead of time for an appointment is required in 2021 to accommodate for social distancing. Time slots are first come, first served. Events will be held outside at park pavilions throughout the county in 2021.
Why fix it? Bring your broken items back to life!

- Saving you money.

First come, first served. These events are for residents who need their own items fixed. These events are not intended for businesses.

Mobile Menders
Have a button to sew back on, pants that need to be hemmed or a tear in your favorite jeans?
Mobile Menders is a volunteer group dedicated to providing free mending services around the Twin Cities area. Their goal is to provide clothing repair to those in need. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to have clothes that fit and are in good shape. They hold mending clinics throughout the year some of which are in Anoka County.
