Support Repair Café Willowdale

Repair Café Willowdale is powered by volunteers and community support. Your donation help us do the amazing things we do!

Why Donate?

Repair Café Willowdale has always been a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization. Our volunteers generously donate their time, knowledge, and in some cases even the supplies needed to help repair items brought to our events.

To date, we have operated with very limited funding. We've also been fortunate to benefit from the generosity of community partners who have helped us with important costs such as venue space and insurance.

As interest in our events continues to grow, so do the costs of organizing them.

Your donation helps us continue offering free community repair events while expanding our ability to serve more people in our community.

Where Your Donation Goes

Donations help support the essential costs of running Repair Café Willowdale, including:

  • Event venue expenses
  • Insurance costs
  • Repair supplies and consumable materials
  • Tools and equipment used during events
  • Outreach and promotion to help more people discover our events
  • Expanding the number and reach of future Repair Café events
No one at Repair Café Willowdale takes a salary, so every dollar of your generous donation goes towards our events!

The Impact of Your Support

Every repaired toaster, lamp, jacket, bicycle, or household item represents something kept out of the landfill and money saved for a neighbour.

But repair cafés are about more than repairs. They create opportunities for people to learn new skills, share knowledge, meet their neighbours, and strengthen community connections.

Your support helps make all of that possible.

Thank You

Whether you donate, volunteer, bring an item for repair, or simply help spread the word, you are helping build a more sustainable and connected community.

Thank you for supporting Repair Café Willowdale.
