    Anxious to Help

    What do you do with a used computer?  You find Silas.  He knows exactly what do to. Over the past year, he has picked up 117 desktop computers from TechCharities and placed then with members of his church for family history work.

    Thanks to National Cristina Foundation and a Generous Donor

    It is amazing. It happens over and over. Just when we think we will run out of computers, someone makes a donation just in time.  And, it happened again. The National Cristina Foundation called and said that they had a very generous offer from a nearby company that was willing to donate their computers and monitors. Would we be interested? Of course!  The demand for computers has been extraordinary because of Covid  19 and our distribution has nearly tripled the last few months.  Again, the offer was just in time. We rented a U-Haul, called a few friends, and spend the day loading a new supply of computers for the…
