Computers for a Cause

With the COVID-19 pandemic came a growing list of opportunities for the Rotary Club of Calgary Connect to support the community. One that stood out to us was the disruption in the education system – especially for underprivileged youth.

In Canada, almost 35,000 children are admitted into a shelter each year. As classroom learning shifted to online programming, the need for technology for children in shelters became essential.

we got to work

In a few short weeks, we leveraged our network to collect unused devices to be donated to shelters within the city. Our dedicated team refurbished and delivered 8 tablets and laptops to The Brenda Strafford Center and the Discovery House for young residents to share during their stay.
