We have recycled computers to give to families who have a member that has a disability. These computers that have been donated to us by businesses and families for the purpose of this program. These computers are recycled and made available to you upon request. We have both PC and a minimum of Macintosh platforms. Families are asked to donate $20.00 when picking up their computer.
This program could not be possible without the help of our many volunteers. These computers are checked by our volunteer technicians to make sure they are in excellent working condition and cleaned of all viruses.

How to request a computer:
After You Receive Your Computer:
When you receive your computer it will come with Open Office, which is a free version of the Microsoft Office program. Your computer will be able to connect to the internet via a high speed connection like Cable or Verizon. All computers come with a virus protection program. It will either be AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials. It is VITAL you have this software scan your computer on a routine basis so you do not get a computer virus which will eventually make your computer stop working.
If you need to learn more about the virus protection, you can open the file and click on help or go to the website and watch the tutorials.
