Non-profits and government agencies and community organizations partner for the Blind

Sept. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Greater Salem Technology Equity Project (GSTEP) makes donated information technology accessible to individuals, families and organizations in need in the Greater Salem area using free, open-source software. NextStep Recycling is a comprehensive technology recycling non-profit based in Eugene. NextStep mentors GSTEP and provided the computer hardware for the project. GSTEP and NextStep believe that “reuse is the new recycle!”

Sunnyside Organics will host an open house on Thursday, September 20th at its River Street Training Center (105 River St. NE) from noon untill 5:30pm, where people can visit and see the new computer lab.

Sunnyside Organics will also hold a private Appreciation Dinner event later that day at 6:00 pm at Gamberetti’s Restaurant in Salem as a thank you to the people involved in this project.  The dinner will feature local foods grown by clients of Sunnyside Organics.
