Community Partners
Partners are the key to our success.
With the support of small and large businesses, we are able to raise awareness, help your company reuse old devices, and distribute technology to communities in need.
Start a Partnership
BECOME A PARTNER
We look for Partners in the business community who are updating their workplace technology and are seeking a venue for donation. Our team will refresh, renew, and distribute your gently used technology to those in need.
Interested in hosting a Technology Drive at your business or school? These events spread awareness of the Digital Divide within our community and provide stock for much needed technology to be given back to those without. Let’s bridge the Digital Divide together— we can’t do it alone.
