By electronic recycling association October 2, 2026

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to donate three refurbished laptops to the Canadian Immigrant Women’s Association (CIWA) – Family Resource Network in Calgary, Alberta.

This donation will provide reliable technology to support the organization’s work with immigrant and newcomer families in the community.

Supporting Newcomer Families in Calgary

CIWA supports immigrant and refugee women, girls and their families through settlement assistance, language and employment training, family programs and other community services.

Its Family Resource Network provides accessible, family-focused support for children, youth, parents and caregivers. The program helps families connect with local services, strengthen social connections and access resources based on their individual needs.

Improving Access to Technology

Reliable technology is important for communication, learning, program delivery and access to online resources.

The three donated laptops can support the Family Resource Network’s daily activities and help its team continue connecting families with important programs and community services.

By providing refurbished technology, ERA helps reduce digital barriers while supporting organizations that make a meaningful difference in their communities.

Giving Electronics a Second Life

ERA collects unwanted and retired electronics from businesses and individuals across Canada. Suitable devices are securely processed, refurbished and prepared for reuse.

Extending the life of electronics helps reduce e-waste and provides charities, schools and community organizations with technology they may not otherwise be able to access.

This laptop donation demonstrates how responsible electronics recycling can create both environmental and community benefits.

Donate Your Unwanted Electronics

Businesses and individuals with unused laptops, desktop computers, monitors, phones, tablets, servers or other IT equipment can help support ERA’s technology donation programs.

Your unwanted electronics could become a valuable resource for a charity, school, nonprofit organization or family in need.
