The Maple Lions Club’s “Lions E-waste” program provides us with access to gently used PC’s and Laptops that we, with the previous owners permission, refurbish and donate back out into our local community, the region and on a few occasions beyond to individuals, families and groups that have need of but otherwise can’t afford them.

Our refurbishing process has us wiping the hard drive clean or simply destroying what is in a donated unit and replacing it with a fresh one, making needed repair and reinstalling a new operating system. We are able to do this because we have been lucky enough to work with volunteers who have the needed skill set to do this. Without them I don’t think this club project would be were it is today. Along the way we have gained a few new members and community volunteers who were drawn in because they were interested in this project.
