The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) recently donated 20 laptops and to the Calgary Drop In Centre’s CLIC Program. The program helps provides low-income Calgarians with free refurbished computers.
Many individuals and companies have a closet full of unused, unwanted electronics. These electronics can have a second life, and it is because of partnerships like those between the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) and the Calgary Drop-In Centre (the DI) that we are able to ensure usable electronics are either reused, refurbished, or recycled.
For more than 60 years, the Calgary Drop-In Centre (the DI) has been more than an emergency shelter. We provide essential care as well as health services and housing support to adults experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Our programs and services connect people to permanent housing that meets their individual needs.
Rooted in community and fueled by kindness, the DI proudly serves as part of the Homeless-Serving System of Care, the Canadian Shelter Transformation Network, and we are in full support of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness initiative, Recovery For All.
Donations of computers, computer peripherals, and other equipment can be made to the ERA Donation Centre, at 803-48th Ave SE, Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 65:00 p.m.
