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!

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.
