The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) knows that times are tough, but there are still reasons to smile. In honor of #GivingTuesday ERA is sending out a total of 170 devices to charities and non-profit organizations across Canada. The laptops, computers, projectors, and monitors will help these organizations work more efficiently. Some of the items will be given to clients who are in need of electronics to stay connected and for children to continue their schooling.
Hopefully these donations will give the following 18 charities a reason to smile this holiday season.
- Childrens Autism Services
- Calgary Immigrant Women’s Society
- Maria Montessori Education Centre
- MADA Community Center
- Galiano Conservancy Association
- ITechSkills Academy Organization

What is Giving Tuesday? Giving Tuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies, and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday. Check it out here.
