A (nearly) free computer is available for those who qualify.
It is easy to get a computer laptop or Chromebook.
Contact the agency that you work with (such as Work Force Services, BYU Pathway, Catholic Community Services,…) and request their endorsement.
Or, just visit our office if you qualify as low income and see if there is a computer that you like. If you are on TANF or FEP you qualify.
Our office is located at 50 North 600 West, Suite C in Salt Lake City. See the map in Contacts. We are on the south end of the building, sidewalk level.
Office hours are Monday from 10:00 am to noon.
Are the computers really free? Well, sort of. There is a small administrative fee to help cover some of the costs.
But every computer is a great deal. Most of the costs of the computers are covered by generous contributions.
Here is a summary of the fees clients pay for a used computer:
-
Desk top Computer $40
This is by far the best deal!! It includes a monitor, keyboard, and mouse plus Windows 10 Pro. Most of the desktops have i5 processors. And, we have a large stock on hand
-
Desktop with webcam, wifi, and speaker $65
This is a complete set up with everything needed to simply plug in and use.
-
Laptops, i3, i5 $50
These laps tops are fast, high performing, business grade laptops with Windows 10 and Word. Some have built in cameras. Our inventory of laptops is usually limited because of the good price and they are hard to find.
-
Chromebooks $30 - $35
Chromebooks are the most popular because of their size and they are easy to use. They are refurbished and ready to use.

I an low income and currently receive snap benefits. If there is anyway possible for assistance or guidance it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! I have a high risk health daughter who is doing online charter school. She was not provided a laptop so she has been using ours which is now not working. She does need an actual laptop as Chromebook doesn’t support all she needs it to do. Is there any way she can get one? Also, is there any way you would be willing to just mail it. We are trying to avoid public outings as much as possible. We are happy to pay the fees.
