WHOLE WAY HOUSE RECEIVES A WHOLE LOT OF TECHNOLOGY
We were delighted to work with the Whole Way House to donate two computers, a laptop, a printer and a phone. Whole Way House is a Vancouver-based charitable society serving the residents of the Veterans Manor in the Downtown Eastside. They believe that when a person feels loved and valued, they are able to find purpose in life and be a part of something greater. They offer friendship and support to those who are often lonely, isolated, rejected and forgotten. Their vision is to reach the people in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside by creating a safe and welcoming environment where they can build meaningful relationships and a community that instills worth, value, and dignity. They aim to do this through Community Building Programs and one-on-one Tenant Support.
All of their programs are designed and based on their three pillars of ReConnect, ReBuild and ReCenter. Their programs aim to help their residents ReConnect with people by building meaningful relationships, ReBuild a sense of community, belonging and purpose through education and training, and ReCenter around a meaningful and purposeful life through a re-integrative clean-housing support system.
While speaking with Sonora Szoczei, Assistant Manager and Tenant Worker at the Whole Way House she expressed, “We are so thankful for this donation from The Electronic Recycling Association! We have designated the desktop computers and printer for resident use, finally providing our tenants without their own personal computers with access to the internet and general document writing and printing. This will make it easier for our residents to do research, stay in contact with family, friends, and services, and update personal information or even resumes! The laptop provided to us by The Electronic Recycling Association will be used for Whole Way House staff, interns, and volunteers for program and event planning, storing tenant files, email communication, and general office needs. Thank you again, Electronic Recycling Association!”
We wish them all the best with this donation and the best of luck for the future.
