Donate: We’ll be collecting unwanted electronics and computers for reuse and recycling
Activity: Ever wonder what’s inside a computer? Take a look at the components inside an old piece of tech and understand the environmental impact of disposing of your tech incorrectly.
Free Geek Toronto is a technology reuse not-for-profit organization that uses unwanted electronics and computers to increase access to technology, offer employment and training opportunities, and reduce technology’s environmental impact.
A circular economy focuses on regeneration, reusing, and recycling. These are core to Free Geek Toronto’s mission to improve e-waste management. As an e-waste refurbisher and active advocate for the circular economy, Free Geek Toronto is doing its utmost to minimize environmental impacts.
We accept unwanted technology and, through a thorough process, determine what we can reuse and what must be recycled. We focus on reuse because it reduces waste while providing affordable access to technology for those who lack it. Access to hardware and connectivity is the first step to building a digitally inclusive society where technology is demystified.
Free Geek Toronto also operates as an employment social enterprise. We use our technology reuse operations to provide a supportive environment where individuals can learn, grow, and gain experience in the computer refurbishment industry.
Na-Me-Res – 2026 EcoFair New Gloves, Socks and Men’s Personal Care Products Drive
EcoFair attendees are encouraged to bring new gloves and socks to warm the hands and feet of the men served by Na-Me-Res. We also welcome new and unused men’s personal care products.
For the third year EcoFair is offering support to the equity-deserving Indigenous community by holding a New Men’s Gloves, Socks and Personal Care Products Drive on behalf of Na-Me-Res (Native Men’s Residence). We are collecting new gloves and socks and unused items such as deodorant, disposable wipes, soap, razors, shaving cream, toothpaste and toothbrushes.
Na-Me-Res helps homeless Indigenous men in Toronto with temporary, transitional and permanent housing. Their street outreach and support services provide Indigenous-specific service using a mobile approach with support workers and Elders, who engage with homeless clients to secure housing, develop a crisis plan, access services, and foster a greater sense of cultural awareness.
Na-Me-Res takes care of the whole person with their Indigenous cultural-based approach filled with respect and spirit. More information on the many remarkable ways that Na-Me-Res helps is available at https://www.nameres.org/programs/
We thank EcoFair attendees and volunteers for their donations to our New Gloves, Socks and Personal Care Products Drive.
EcoFair Food Drive on behalf of The Stop Community Food Centre
EcoFair is supporting a Food Drive for The Stop Community Food Centre, which has been dedicated to increasing access to healthy food in Toronto for over 42 years. The Stop team is proud to be an integral part of the community, offering support, fostering health and togetherness, and challenging inequality.
EcoFair attendees and volunteers are invited to bringEcoFair attendees and volunteers are invited to bring a non-perishable food item or a $5.00 donation for The Stop’s food bank.
While our EcoFair food vendors will be providing us with delicious healthy food, regretfully, with rising food prices, The Stop’s food bank is struggling to provide healthy food for everyone. Their food bank reaches over 2,000 households each month; drives like this are critical for The Stop’s success.
We are inviting EcoFair attendees to help by bringing a non-perishable food item that is safely within its “best before” date to donate to The Stop Community Food Centre. All donations of any non-perishable food are welcome.
Examples:
- Canned protein items, such as tuna, salmon, and chicken
- Canned or dry beans and legumes
- Oil
- Canned hearty soups and stews
- Peanut butter
- Shelf-stable unsweetened milk alternatives such as soy or almond
Full details on accepted items are available HERE
From Veronica Montero, Director of Development and Communications at The Stop: “……canned tuna is always appreciated. Other items that we don’t always purchase but are well loved include: oil, peanut butter, and canned soups/stews.”
A huge thank you for helping The Stop meet the crucial need for nutritious food. Cash or e-payment donations will be accepted at the Welcome Tables or the Silent Auction desk.

TEECC
Toronto East End Climate Collective (TEECC) is a non-partisan volunteer group working to understand the causes of the climate crisis and advocating for constructive responses
TEECC hosts guest speakers, analyzes public policy, participates in public forums and maintains a dialogue with local representatives on climate issues. Most recently, TEECC participated in Toronto’s annual Park(ing) Day event. Our installation entitled ‘Park(ing) Makes Space for Climate’ focused on repurposing a parking spot into a space for conversations about climate.
Toronto Toronto East End Climate CollectiveToronto
TEECC members invite attendees to take part in a short activity exploring ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Using cards from Solutions: The Game (based on Project Drawdown research), attendees rank three random solutions by which they think will have the biggest impact. Then the actual impact is revealed and discussed. We use the opportunity to discuss how people are already engaging in the community around climate change and make connections.
The activity is suitable for ages 10+ through adults.
More released soon…
