Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE) is a registered educational charity with a unique focus on integrating boys, men and fathers into efforts to achieve gender equality. They work through services, public events, scholarly research, and community engagement. They operate the Canadian Centre for Men and Families in four cities. These health and social service hubs are open, inclusive and diverse spaces that embrace individuals regardless of sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, religion, age, marital status or national origin. They aim to catalyze a better future for our sons and daughters by building healthier families and stronger communities.
CAFE is opening a new full-time men’s health and social service facility, the Canadian Centre for Men and Families, in Calgary, and require electronic items to make their agency fully functional in delivering free therapy and support groups to the community. They have been operating part-time for 3 years but the need for their services has been growing so the ERA is happy to support them with a donation of a printer and a projector. We will be providing them with computers in the near future to further assist their operations. Contact us if you are looking to donate your computer to a good cause. Choose from one of many deserving organizations that are in need of IT equipment and make a difference today.
