Our mission is to help students who have a sincere desire to learn and succeed.

By providing refurbished and upgraded personal computers to disadvantaged students and their families, the Computers to Kids in Need initiative helps break down economic, social and cultural barriers to learning and success.

How Does it work?

Donations of computer hardware, software and sponsor funding are used to upgrade and rebuild desktop and laptop computers.

Resources for Schools

  • Selections are currently made twice per year. Once in the summer and the winter.
  • Students and their families are awarded the upgraded computers and provided with follow-up training.
