Donate a Computer

Without access to a home computer, many students are unable to complete their coursework. Some disadvantaged students are single parents who work full time, go to school, rely on public transportation and raise their children. Your donation will be appreciated and put to great use!

To donate a computer, get started by reading the computer donation hardware and software specifications.
