Give computers a second life.

We collect donated computers from businesses and individuals, securely prepare them for their next owner, and get them to people who need access to technology through trusted community partners.

Step one

Your computer arrives

Every donated computer is evaluated rather than automatically refurbished. Systems still practical to repair become complete refurbished computers. Others become sources of replacement parts that extend the lives of additional machines. What truly can't be reused is responsibly recycled.

This is where the thread forks. One strand continues as a complete system, one loops away as a parts donor and rejoins downstream, one terminates at recycling.

Step two

Protecting your data

Before any refurbishment begins, every storage device is securely erased, company inventory labels are removed, and each system is documented.

This is the only section that pins. Text holds while the redaction bars sweep across the form beside it and the erase completes.

A quiet moment. No heading, no list, no illustration — just air and one wide photograph. This is what the windows in the room concept were actually for.

Step three

Preparing for a new owner

Each computer is cleaned, tested, updated, and prepared so it's ready to use immediately. Components are checked, worn parts replaced, software installed.

Wide two-column measure here, deliberately different from the narrow column two sections up. Uniform measure is what makes long pages feel like a template.

Step four

A new home

We work alongside nonprofits, schools, housing programs, and community partners so each system reaches someone who can genuinely use it — a student's classroom, a family's connection, a job seeker's opportunity.

About us

Access to technology shouldn't depend on someone's financial situation. Giving donated computers a second life reduces electronic waste while creating opportunities for education, employment, creativity, and connection.

Help create more opportunities

Donate computers, volunteer, or support the mission. The thread comes down the outside of this block, hooks inward, and stops with its arrowhead on the button — the whole page has been travelling here.
