Gateway Pet Guardians

920,000 animals are euthanized every year in the US just because there’s no one to take them in. That’s where pet rescues fill a massive void to help these furry friends find homes. It’s why our community was honored to help Gateway Pet Guardians turn their significant setback into a blessing. Earlier this year, a team member shared that GPG had a late-night break-in at their headquarters. Fortunately, there was no harm to the pups and cats and minimal property damage. But the thieves made off with one of their critical laptops —plus pet meds and even some leftover pizza. Most of us have access to newer, better-quality tech. But it’s not uncommon for nonprofits to both have limited access to electronics while also using dated devices in need of upgrading. That’s where Phoenix Solutions comes in, to resource nonprofits with cash, computers, and content contributions. When we learned of GPG’s need, we sent Diana Pupillo, Alison Erazmus, and their team 12 refurbished laptops with computer monitors to help out. We didn’t know how much we were helping until Chris Medvick and Continuum (GPG’s MSP and IT support) shared with us that GPG’s laptop contribution were the best new computers they ever received. We’re stoked to think about all the productivity gains from their new devices plus the relief they must feel now not to have to fight against aging tech. That’s what it’s all about for us — doing what we can to help meaningful organizations and to close the digital divide. This is one of the many nonprofits we support and the impact we’ve created over our decade+ of providing electronics recycling and data destruction services here in St. Louis and beyond. And that’s where you come in. None of this is possible without you, our community-minded clients who use our recycling services. You’re the real heroes! Thank you so much for recycling your electronics with us for 13 years and for all the people and pup impacts we’ve made together!
