Sometimes spring cleaning is about parting with things you no longer need or use, but then there's that other pile of stuff. The pile that makes you feel funny because you love it, but it needs some kind of fixing or mending that lands outside of your skillset or level of interest. If this sounds like a familiar scenario, we have GREAT NEWS.
There is an organization (in existence since 2013!) that hosts events where Portlanders can bring their tired objects to a group of volunteers who can revitalize and repair them. Sometimes, these volunteers can also teach you how to make the repairs yourself so that next time, you can spare your beloved object a rotation in the to-be-dealt-with pile. Check out their schedule for upcoming events near you.
