Are you the kind of person who avoids tossing things in the trash whenever possible? Do you enjoy fixing things and teaching others? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions, we need your help!
Sheridan is offering its next Repair Café event at the Hazel McCallion Campus on November 29. We are looking for volunteer fixers who are skilled at repairing household items, including everything from computers and electronics to small appliances and clothes.
