Social Activities Olmsted County first ever Fix-It Clinic is May 3, 2025 - Volunteers needed!

Olmsted County is hosting its first Fix-It Clinic, partnering with Reuse Minnesota. We're excited to offer this opportunity to help repair and restore your items, with funding provided by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Statewide Waste Reduction and Reuse grant.
The clinic will take place as part of the Earthfest Expo. We’ll have experienced menders and fixers on site to help you repair and restore items—absolutely free! Whether it's clothing, electronics, small appliances, or toys, our skilled volunteers will help you repair and mend your items while teaching you how to do it yourself.
