ERA Donates Computers to Toronto North Support Services

By electronic recycling association July 10, 2023

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is happy to announce the recent donation of five desktop computers to Toronto North Support Services (TNSS) in Ontario. TNSS is an organization that works tirelessly to support individuals who live with mental illness and have experienced homelessness. The donated computers will play a crucial role in providing these individuals, who have recently moved into permanent housing, with the means to access community social activities and virtual groups specifically designed to address their mental health and overall well-being.

Toronto North Support Services offers a wide range of community mental health services in Toronto, with a particular focus on reaching out to individuals who face significant barriers to accessing support. This includes those experiencing homelessness, individuals encountering language barriers or stigma associated with mental illness, and those with complex needs. As the operations lead for The Access Point, TNSS collaborates extensively with various Toronto providers to improve access processes and ensure efficient management of capacity for community mental health services.

The ERA works with organizations across the country to provide refurbished electronics for their programs. This gives them access to reliable technology while allowing them to apply their resources to what they’re good at: developing programs to help Canadians struggling with poverty, health concerns or are otherwise experiencing misfortune. Because the Electronic Recycling Association is an advocate of equality, we are not specifically affiliated with a given charity. The ERA helps hundreds of charitable organizations each year through the donation of necessary computer equipment. Organizations qualified for donations through ERA’s donation program include: registered charities, non-profit organizations, care facilities (seniors’ homes, hospitals, daycares, etc.) and educational institutions.

We strive to meet reasonable requests for IT and related equipment, such as computers, laptops, projection equipment, printers, phones and related peripherals. Our goal is to fulfill every single reasonable request for a computer donation that we receive, and we are thrilled to announce that we are getting close to achieving this goal. Since 2004, we have donated thousands of computers to Canadians in need and this number grows daily.

Schedule a pickup with ERA and contribute to our mission of providing refurbished computers to those in need.
