Improving greater access to technology and skills training in our community.

Computer Kindness Corner

Connecting folks with devices, enhancing digital literacy, and preventing the disposal of electronics in our landfill.

This program is a collaboration between the Sunshine Coast Computer Kindness program and the Poverty Reduction project.

 

HOW TO DONATE A DEVICE

If you have an older unlocked phone, tablet, or laptop in working order that you would like to donate, we welcome your contribution at the Resource Centre during our drop-in hours, Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Before donating, please ensure to reset your device and remove any SIM and microSD cards. To streamline the process, we have provided a donation form that you can download here.

Please complete the form prior to bringing your device to the Resource Centre.

For desktop donations, please donate directly to the Sunshine Coast Computer Kindness Program, located in Roberts Creek. Visit their website to access their online donation form. The Sunshine Coast Computer Kindness Program also accepts donations of all other devices.

 

HOW TO ACCESS A DEVICE 

To access the Computer Kindness Corner, community members are asked to request devices through the community navigator at SCCSS, or the program lead at Arrowhead Clubhouse as they are the distributors in the community for the CKC project.

  1. Clients can contact SCCSS’s community navigator (604-885-5881 ext. 248) or Arrowhead Clubhouse (604-747-4734) to request a device.
  2. We’ll find you a device from the donations we receive for the CKC project. However, since we depend on donations from the community, we cannot promise that everyone who asks for a device will get one. But we will make our best effort to find one for you.
  3. One of our distribution contacts will get in touch with you when a device has been refurbished and is available for you to collect from the one of our partners.
