We rescue computers headed for e-waste, securely prepare them, and put them into the hands of people who need a way in.
Nothing is refurbished on autopilot. Every donation is inspected first — some become complete systems, others become parts donors that repair more machines, and only truly dead materials are responsibly recycled.
Every drive is securely erased and verified before refurbishment even starts. Company asset tags come off, and privacy is treated as the priority — not an afterthought.
Systems are cleaned, components tested, worn parts replaced, and software installed — then every machine passes a final QA so it works the moment it's turned on.
We don't just hand computers over. Working through trusted partners, each machine reaches someone who truly benefits — a student's classroom, a job seeker's chance, a family's connection.
Each one is measured a different way, but they all add up to the same thing: access.
People and businesses give; community organizations place it where it changes a life.
We're a small crew of volunteers who believe access to technology shouldn't depend on a price tag. What began in a garage now keeps working machines out of landfills and puts them where they change someone's day.
Donate the hardware you've outgrown, or lend a few hours. Either way, a computer that would've been trash becomes someone's fresh start.
Hosts a digital-literacy lab built entirely from Open Window machines, and lends laptops to patrons who need one at home.
