SPONSOR A CHILD TO RECEIVE A COMPUTER DURING ISOLATION

During this very uncertain time for families (schooling kids from home, parents and guardians undergoing career changes etc.) we are trying to support as many families as we can to make this an easier transition. Many of these families are in distress and need a computer to support their children’s learning during this time. Over the past few weeks we have had over 800 families respond to our Computers for Kids program and this will continue to grow! If you can, a donation of $15 will sponsor one computer to support a child’s learning during isolation.

APPLY TO RECEIVE A COMPUTER

If you are a family in need of a computer during this time, please fill out the form above. We are processing requests as fast as possible as 2 part-time volunteers, so we appreciate your patience. With up to 100 emails a day, we will not be responding to emails about computers until we have them ready for delivery.

APPLY TO BE A VOLUNTEER OR DONATE A COMPUTER

Additionally, we are in need of more computers and volunteers. If you have a computer or tablet you are willing to donate or would like to be apart of the computer delivery/pick up, we need your help to better support the community.
