FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Winnipeg, MB – October 1, 2021
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is excited to announce that they will be co-hosting a donation event with the Better Business Bureau serving Manitoba and NW Ontario (BBB) and the BBB Education Foundation of Manitoba to provide 26 electronic devices to the clients of the Woman Healing For Change MB Inc., Newcomers Employment and Education Development Service Inc. and Elmwood Community Resource Center
Viewing regular access to a personal computer as a non-essential luxury is a thing of the past. Even basic activities now require the use of a computer; applying for a job, completing school work, staying in touch with family or even something as simple as looing up a bus route is difficult without a computer. The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) has developed a charitable computer donation program to address exactly that problem. They’re happy to partner with the Better Business Bureau and BBB Education Foundation to provide some organizations of Winnipeg that work to train, assist, and develop the communities we serve by providing for their IT needs.
