Keep Truckee Green Monthly Mending & Repair Workshops

In 2023, in response to the overwhelming amount of clothing we saw needing repair at our Fix-It Clinics,  we launched free Monthly Mending and Repair Workshops to teach our community how to repair clothing instead of throwing it away. Together with Keep Truckee Green, we offer classes in patching, visible mending, winter gear repair, darning, zipper replacement, and more to reduce textile waste while teaching new skills to the community.
