At the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), we believe that reuse comes before recycling. Every device we refurbish represents an opportunity to support communities, reduce electronic waste, and expand digital access across Canada.
We are proud to share that ERA has donated one refurbished laptop to The Salvation Army Edmonton Centre of Hope, helping support their essential programs and services in Edmonton, Alberta.
Supporting Community Through Technology
The Salvation Army Edmonton Centre of Hope provides critical support to individuals facing homelessness, poverty, addiction recovery challenges, and other life transitions. Access to reliable technology plays an increasingly important role in delivering services, managing operations, and helping clients reconnect with employment, education, and housing opportunities.
This donated laptop will assist staff and program participants with:
- Accessing online services and community resources
- Administrative and case management support
- Job searches and employment applications
- Communication and digital literacy development
Even a single device can make a meaningful impact.
