Donate Computers

Donated computers and accessories make our Earn-a-Computer program possible. We strive to ensure kids can leave our programs with computers they will be able to use both for learning and fun.

Due to the recycling companies charging for certain items.

CRT monitors will have a fee of $15.00
4:3 ratio flat screens are $5.00
Printers are no longer accepted.

Donations can be made on Tuesday OR Thursday’s from 11am to 7pm or on Saturday from 10AM to 2PM at Bworks, 2414 Menard Street, 63104.
