Need something fixed?

Bring small appliances, household items, clothing or accessories that need to be repaired to the Kent Senior Center, 600 E. Smith St., on Wednesday, June 15.

The Repair Time event is from 3 to 7 p.m. and is free to the public.

In addition to expert fixers, three high school electronic whizzes will work alongside them to help give items a second life.

For items needing product-specific parts, volunteers will try to determine what is needed so customers can order it online to finish the repair.

Please do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous or contain gasoline.

Good with tools? Want to become a “fixer” or an interpreter for this project, or just have questions? Contact Tom Watson at 206-477-4481, Tom.Watson@KingCounty.gov or Gina at 253-856-5549, ghungerford@kentwa.gov.

King County’s EcoConsumer public outreach program sponsors Repair Time.
