Do you have a broken item in need of repair? Bring it to a FREE LB Fixit Clinic! By learning to repair items instead of replacing them, you save money, reduce waste, and gain valuable, lifelong skills. Even if a repair doesn’t succeed, you’ll leave with knowledge that helps you troubleshoot and fix other items in the future.

Saturday, February 8, 2025

12 p.m. - 3 p.m.

Sports Basement

2100 N. Bellflower Blvd.

Items to bring to repair:

• Clothing

Give a meaningful gift that’s kind to both your loved one and the planet! Consider one of these low-waste ideas instead of something that is tangible.
