Thank you for a wonderful 2024 Fix-It Days season!​​

​

Our Fix-It Days season has wrapped up for 2024, but we are already

scheduling our 2025 events and can't wait to connect with you there!

Stay  tuned to this page and our email newsletter for updates

with our 2025 events.

​

Fix-It Days are community events dedicated to repairing broken items. Bring

your items for our skilled volunteers to fix, mend, and sharpen. These events

were initiated by Transition Fidalgo over a decade ago. Our community "fixers"

volunteer their time and expertise, boasting a repair success rate of over 80%!

While repairs are donation-based, no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

Donations are crucial, as they cover the operating costs and keep this program

running. Your contributions make Fix-It Days possible! Repairs are first come,

first serve at our events.

​

When are Fix-It days? 

Typically they are 9:00 am – 2:00 pm, Saturdays (June through September),

at the Depot, 7th St. and R Ave. However, we are expanding our events for 2024

and have a few events outside of our Anacortes Farmers Market dates.​

We have completed our 2024 Fix-It season, but stay tuned for upcoming dates for 2025!

​

Does Transition offer Fix-It services at other times?

We don't normally offer fix-it services outside of our above events, but please

reach out to Kelsey@transitionfidalgo.org if you have a project! Occasionally

some of our volunteers can take on projects outside of our events. 

​

Why Does This Program Exist?

Our mission is to breathe new life into broken items and divert repairable waste

from landfills. Between 2000 and 2021, solid waste generation increased by

nearly 71% (Department of Ecology). It’s clear ,we have a waste problem. Many

of the items that end up in the landfill, are not because they are unfixable, but

because the new version came out. We believe the best way to address the

waste problem is by offering repair services and raising awareness about the

impacts of an unsustainable consumer culture.
