Stearns Fix-It Clinic

A Fix-It Clinic is a free event where you can bring broken items from home—like small appliances, electronics, toys, clothes, and more—and get them fixed! Skilled volunteers will help you figure out what’s wrong and show you how to repair it. You’ll get hands-on help with things like taking items apart, sewing, unscrewing, or opening them up. It’s a fun way to learn useful repair skills, prevent items from being thrown away, connect with others in your community, and save money!
