NORWALK — Instead of throwing away broken household items, residents are invited to give them a second life at a free LA Fixit Clinic on Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Norwalk Library.

The event will be held from noon to 3 p.m. at the library, 12350 Imperial Hwy., and offers free repair assistance from experienced volunteer coaches. Participants are encouraged to bring a variety of household items, including bicycles, clothing, electronics, small appliances, toys and jewelry.

Rather than simply fixing the items for participants, volunteers work alongside attendees, helping them troubleshoot problems, learn repair techniques and extend the life of well-loved possessions. Organizers say the clinics reduce waste while teaching valuable repair skills and promoting sustainability.

The event is sponsored by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works in partnership with LA Fixit Clinic, Fixit Clinic and the Los Angeles County Library.

Organizers are also seeking volunteers for the event. Volunteer “Fixit Coaches” help participants diagnose and repair items, regardless of their professional experience. A passion for repairing and sharing knowledge is encouraged, and organizers say volunteers do not need to be experts to participate.

The free LA Fixit Clinic will take place Saturday, Aug. 22, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Norwalk Library, 12350 Imperial Hwy., Norwalk.
