Don’t Toss It, Fix It
Repair Hub’s mission is to prevent items from entering the waste stream, preserve the art of repair, and build community through service.
Who We Are
Repair Hub is a non-profit organization based in Boone, NC that was founded in 2019 by Andy Groothuis. The organization was established as a community-based initiative to provide free repair services. Repair Hub's volunteers are passionate about fixing things and building community through the art of repair.
what we do
Our team of volunteers is dedicated to helping you repair your broken or torn household items. But that's not all - we also offer guidance and teach you a new skill so that you can fix it yourself next time. If you're unsure whether we can fix your item, don't hesitate to bring it in for a consultation. We're more than happy to help! Our repair services are completely free of charge, but we do accept donations.
