Strengthening Calgary Communities Through Electronic Recycling and Laptop Donations

By electronic recycling association August 26, 2025

At the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), every refurbished device represents more than just technology—it represents opportunity, connection, and hope. Recently, we were proud to donate two laptops to River Park Church in Calgary, an organization dedicated to community support, spiritual outreach, and building meaningful connections.

River Park Church is more than a place of worship—it’s a community hub where individuals and families can find belonging, resources, and support. From youth programs to outreach services, technology plays a vital role in ensuring these initiatives thrive.

The laptops provided by ERA—professionally refurbished and securely data-wiped—will be placed directly into the hands of families in need. These devices will help them:

  • Stay connected with loved ones and essential services
  • Access educational opportunities
  • Build pathways to employment and independence

Helping Bridge the Digital Divide

Our partnership with River Park Church reflects ERA’s broader mission: to reduce e-waste while empowering Canadian communities. Every refurbished device creates a double impact—diverting electronics from landfills while equipping charities and nonprofits with the tools they need to support those who rely on them.
