Momentum Community Economic Development in Calgary, AB, has received a donation of 20 laptops from the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA). This donation between ERA and Momentum exemplifies the power of partnerships in driving positive social change. By combining resources and expertise, they are making a significant impact in empowering individuals and building stronger communities.

Momentum is a remarkable organization dedicated to driving positive change by employing both social and economic strategies to combat poverty. Their comprehensive approach encompasses various aspects such as financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and skills training. They also emphasize the development of communication skills, building self-confidence, and establishing positive social networks.

At the core of Momentum’s operations lies their commitment to community economic development. By collaborating with individuals, businesses, communities, and systems, they strive to foster a more inclusive local economy. Their vision extends beyond the mere creation of jobs and establishment of businesses; they aim to inspire vibrant communities where every individual has a role to play.

The ERA is delighted to extend our support by providing the necessary technology to help Momentum fulfill their mission of assisting their clients. With the donated laptops, program participants will be better equipped to complete their training and successfully navigate their journey towards self-sufficiency.

Here at the Electronic Recycling Association, we are deeply committed to fostering a community of innovation and connectivity. As a non-profit organization ourselves, we witness firsthand the transformative power of supporting the communities we serve. By providing electronic devices, we enable charitable organizations like Momentum to continue their vital mission of bringing people together in a space of creativity and connection.

Our emphasis on reusing electronics not only reduces the amount of electronic waste ending up in landfills but also empowers local organizations in towns and cities across the nation. If you have a printer, laptop, or projector that you’re not using, consider donating it to an organization in your community. The ERA maintains a list of charities eagerly awaiting computer donations, all of whom could greatly benefit from your generosity.

When you donate a laptop to the ERA, you’re opening doors for another organization to start a new program, expand their administrative team or volunteer base, or teach youth and seniors exciting digital skills. As our society races forward in technological advancement, the demand for updated electronics to support these community initiatives skyrockets.
