PAR-Recycle Works

PAR-Recycle Works PAR-Recycle Works is a non-profit that hires returning citizens to recycle used electronics.

We help restore the lives of the formerly incarcerated in a supportive environment. PAR-Recycle Works is a nonprofit that provides transitional employment to people returning to the community from prison through an environmentally responsible electronics recycling service. Working with municipalities, businesses, faith-based organizations and other major institutions, PAR-Recycle Works takes apart

computers and other electronics and recycles them into valuable components that are sold to generate revenue to pay our employees. By providing our employees with skills and opportunities, PAR-Recycle Works helps to build safer communities and contribute to stronger families while saving taxpayer money.

There’s just a few days left to double your impact!

Through December 31, every gift to PAR-Recycle Works will be matched dollar for dollar, helping us secure our forever home and expand e-waste recycling and second-chance employment in Philadelphia.

We’re in the final stretch of our campaign, raising the last $140K needed to purchase a permanent facility by January 2026. A matched gift right now brings us close to making our vision a reality.

We have big plans to grow our business and deepen our impact in 2026 - and we need your help to get there.

PAR is raising funds to purchase a permanent home that will allow us to expand our e-recycling business and create more jobs and training opportunities for justice-impacted Philadelphians.

With grant funding from the state of Pennsylvania and our community’s support, we're well on our way. Now, we need to raise the final 23% of funds ($250K) required to purchase PAR’s forever home by January 2026.

Your support today brings us one step closer and will help strengthen PAR for years to come. And thanks to a generous matching grant, every dollar you give to PAR before December 31 will be doubled!

This , help PAR-Recycle Works secure our “forever home”!

Our current facility can’t keep up with our growth – or with Philadelphia’s growing need for responsible e-waste recycling and employment opportunities for justice-impacted people.

By purchasing a larger facility, we can bring all of PAR’s operations under one roof, expand our capacity, and deepen our impact for years to come.

We have a rare opportunity to make this vision real. Thanks to grant funding from the state of Pennsylvania, we’re already well on our way - and now we need to raise the final $400K to purchase PAR’s forever home by January 2026.

Your gift today helps secure a permanent space for second chances and a cleaner Philadelphia. Donate at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=R8B9HMM43CG8U
