Mend-it Cafe

  • Shadle Park Library 2111 West Wellesley Avenue Spokane, WA, 99205 United States (map)

Spokane Zero Waste in collaboration with Art Salvage is premiering the first ever Mend-It Cafe in Spokane.

What's a Mend-It Cafe you ask? Well its a community organized and run event where you can get your clothes and other textile goods repaired or repurposed. It's also a way to grow a repair economy, divert textile waste from landfill and join communities around the globe engaged in reuse and repair over replace.

Here's how this first one will work:

  • Bring an article of clothing to be repaired

  • Check in and get paired with a mender

  • Watch as your mender brings new life to your garment.

Below is a list of the things we'll be fixing at this first cafe.

1. Fallen Hems
2. Broken Zippers
3. Torn Garments
4. Simple Alterations
