Throughout the month of May, Reuse Minnesota is offering free mending sessions at Old School thrift store, located at 1901 Nicollet Avenue South in Minneapolis.

Unlike our past mend-it clinics, these events will consist of a single mender offering one-on-one repair, by appointment only. Each attendee will have a dedicated 30 minute spot to have their item(s) mended. If you have more than one item, please prioritize which mend you would like repaired first in case menders are unable to get to/finish additional items. Types of mends that could be made include repairing seams that have come undone, reattaching buttons, patching holes, and more. Zipper repairs will be limited (if you sign up for a zipper repair, we will contact you to ensure we are able to make the repair).

We will have basic materials on-hand, but please bring all parts of the item(s) needing repair, if you have them, including buttons that have fallen off.

Please only book one slot to ensure as many people as possible can participate. If you would like to be considered for additional spots or if you have questions, please email us at info@reusemn.org. 

Late arrival/No show policy: If you arrive late for your appointment, we are unable to extend your time. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, the appointment will be cancelled. If you no show without first contacting our staff (info@reusemn.org), we will be unable to offer you a rescheduled spot. Cancellations should be made no less than 24 hours before your appointment, so we can attempt to offer the spot to someone else. Thank you!

Funding for these events is provided by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Environmental Assistance Grant Program.
