PCs for Families Drive

As COVID-19 keeps us all at home, computers have become essential for school lessons, employment opportunities, and virtual health care visits. As schools, employers, and healthcare continue to work remotely, many struggle without having the technology they need to learn, work, and stay healthy. Village Family needs your help to bridge the digital divide. Cut down on “electronic waste” while helping students, seniors, families, and individuals by donating computers and refurbished equipment less than 5 years old.
