Teton Repair Café - Jackson
Teton Repair Café - Jackson
The Teton Repair Café is a free, community-based pilot where skilled volunteers work alongside participants to diagnose and repair household items such as clothing, furniture, and small appliances. Using the Repair Café International framework, the project reduces landfill waste by extending product lifespans while building practical repair skills, fostering a repair-when-possible mindset, and strengthening community connection through hands-on learning.
