August Electronics Team Joins Forces with Calgary Drop-In Centre
August 29, 2023 | August ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
At August Electronics, our dedication extends beyond the realm of contract electronics manufacturing. We believe in the power of giving back to the communities that nurture us. Recently, a group of 18 enthusiastic team members from August Electronics embarked on a meaningful journey of compassion and service by volunteering at the Calgary Drop-In Centre. This experience exemplifies our commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
Coming Together for a Common Cause
The Calgary Drop-In Centre has long been a pillar of support for individuals experiencing homelessness and other life challenges. Recognizing the vital role they play in the Calgary community; our team members eagerly volunteered their time and efforts to contribute to this noble cause.
A Day of Volunteering
On the day of our volunteering initiative, the August Electronics team members arrived at the Drop-In facility with hearts full of empathy and hands ready to help. The team got straight to work organizing donations. The experience was not only humbling but also eye-opening, reminding us of the importance of fostering connections and showing compassion to all members of our community.
Contributing More than Just Time
In addition to dedicating their time, August Electronics took an extra step in showing their commitment by donating three pallets of new and gently used goods to the Calgary Drop-In Centre. These goods, ranging from clothing to essential supplies, will directly benefit those who rely on the centre’s services. Our team believes that every contribution, big or small, can make a significant difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate.
The Impact and Beyond
Our partnership with the Calgary Drop-In Centre is more than just a one-time event. It reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in our community. We understand that collaboration and compassion are essential elements in building a stronger, more resilient society.
Inspiring Others to Give Back
As we share our experience of volunteering and donating with our community, we hope to inspire others, whether they are businesses, organizations, or individuals, to take part in similar initiatives. The collective effort of many can bring about substantial positive change and foster a sense of unity within our community.
Gratitude and Looking Ahead
August Electronics extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Calgary Drop-In Centre for the incredible work they do to uplift and support our fellow community members. Our team members left the centre with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that their efforts have contributed to something much greater than themselves.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the potential for more collaborations, partnerships, and initiatives that allow us to continue making a difference in the lives of those who need it the most. Together, we can build a stronger, more compassionate community that thrives on empathy and support.
At August Electronics, we’re not just building electronics; we’re building a better world, one act of kindness at a time.

Podcast Review: On the Line with… Designing for Reality
05/09/2024 | Duane Benson, Positive Edge LLCAs a technologist, if I were forced to come up with just one recurring theme that I might call a professional “nemesis,” it would be the difference between theory and reality. A lot of technology we have at our disposal works well in theory but falls short when reality hits. That’s not the only reason I chose to listen to and review On the Line with… Designing for Reality, featuring a series of conversations with ASC Sunstone’s Matt Stevenson, but it certainly helped that the title caught my eye.
