Through electronic reuse PCs for People provides the opportunity for low-income individuals and non-profits to benefit from the life-changing impact of computers, mobile internet and digital literacy.
Since 1998, PCs for People has been a force behind digital inclusion efforts across the U.S. The self-sustainable 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is driven by a four-step approach: source, refurbish, distribute and support. With partnerships and dedicated staff, 250,000 computers have been distributed, 128,000 homes have internet access, and millions of pounds of electronics have been responsibly recycled.
