Repair Café is a neighborhood initiative that promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things out. Amarillo’s first Repair Café will be held June 1, 2024. Panhandle residents can bring their broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of voluntary repairers. But until then, Repair Café needs the help of handy volunteers in the area. Join us!
Amarillo Parks & Recreation Senior Services is looking for repair volunteers for our Repair Café event. We are especially looking for people who are handy with:
- Sewing/Clothing/Textile
- Bicycles
- Appliances
- Furniture/Wooden Items
- Computers/Electronics
- Sharpening Knives & Hatchets
- Or anyone who is simply handy
In addition, we are also looking for event volunteers. These volunteers welcome visitors and serve as a contact point for both visitors and repairers in the Repair Café.
Want to sign up as a volunteer? Follow the Active Adult 50+ link on the Parks & Recreation website: www.amarilloparks.org. You can also reach out to us at jeff.whitsell@amarillo.gov or call (806)378-4290.
See you soon at the Repair Café!

Panhandle Eye Group is bringing Mission Cataract back this year!
The goal of Mission Cataract is to eradicate blindness due to cataracts in our community and bring as many people as possible from blindness to useful productive lives. We want to make sure every vision impaired person in Amarillo and the surrounding areas without insurance or financial resources learns about this remarkable program.
To qualify for this free community service, applicants must have: poor vision, due to cataracts uncorrectable with glasses, which interferes with activities of daily living, no Medicare, Medicaid, or third-party insurance coverage, and no other means to pay for cataract surgery. Free cataract screening will take place on Saturday, June 15th.
To receive an application package, email Janet Tarr, Executive Assistant, at janet.tarr@paneye.com or call 806-331-4444.
