Furniture Repair Bank
Description
The Furniture Repair Bank rescues worn, torn, and broken furniture from the landfill, restores its value, and provides it to people in need. Join our community of empathic, creative, and handy individuals!
We have received more couches, armchairs, and loveseats in need of reupholstering. As our workspace and storage space are one in the same, the sooner these items are redone and donated to families who need them, the sooner we can bring in more.
We are looking for volunteers with sewing skills to help with this process. We provide all tools and materials needed, including our new industrial sewing machine and pneumatic staple guns! We just need you to bring your skills and knowledge to aid our cause.
Repair Days run from 10 am to 4 pm but volunteers are welcome to join for whatever amount of time suits their schedule. Please visit the calendar on our website to view available days this month. We have light snacks and refreshments available for volunteers and also have a water cooler if you would like to bring a refillable bottle.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Please DO NOT sign up to volunteer at any in-person events if you are sick or believe that you have any symptoms of COVID-19. We would never want to put our members at risk in any way, and there are plenty of virtual or at-home ways to earn hours this semester. If you choose to volunteer in-person, make sure you follow all state and county coronavirus guidelines and stay safe when volunteering!
​
Additionally, please do NOT skip class to attend events. If an event takes place during school hours, only volunteer if you're in Running Start/have an alternative schedule that doesn't cause you to skip class!
