Technology offers many opportunities to individuals with disabilities. We recognize that not everyone is able to purchase a new computer. With he generosity of the local community we are able to supply refurbished home computers to individuals with disabilities who can not otherwise afford one for a small fee. A working home computer facilitates social connection, the ability to apply for support programs, and the freedom to pursue education or work opportunities.

Who qualifies for a computer?

If you have a disability and do not have reasonable access to a home computer and would benefit from having one we encourage you to apply. Parents/guardians can apply for a computer on behalf of their disabled children or an adult with a disability if the adult is unable to apply for themselves. 

What will I receive?

After you have submitted an application and been approved a computer will generally be available within 2-4 weeks depending on our inventory and volunteer availability. You will receive a desktop computer with a monitor, tower, keyboard, and mouse. Printers may be available for individuals with a demonstrated need. If you

If you need a laptop due to a physical inability to get to or sit at a computer desk please indicate this on your application and we will do our best to accommodate your needs, however, most of our computers are desktops.

How do I get my computer?

Computers are delivered to the recipient's home. Assistance setting up the computer is available for those who are unable to do so.

Is there a fee for a computer?

We want to ensure that individuals with disabilities in our community have access to working home computers. To offset the cost of providing quality refurbished computers we do ask for a reasonable fee based on income which helps defray the cost of parts and delivery expenses.

If you income is....
