We are presently, normally giving
Pentium 4 desk top computers.
We only give laptop
computers to full-time college students who attend "on site" college
classes, and demonstrate their special need.
Laptop
computers are very easy to damage and very difficult to repair.
If you would rather not wait
for us to build one, and can afford to buy a good used computer...

235-1500 ( 1040 Market SW), or
CompRenew at 451-4400
(629 Ionia SW)
We place computers in
homes of students that could not otherwise afford one .
The
computers that we give have
operating
system and "Office"
type
programs.
This provides word processing (writing
letters and school papers), spreadsheet, (doing accounting), and database, (organizing lists of people and things).
We install
2007
(updated)
and
We provide a FREE six (6) month “dial-up” Internet connection!
Our
free Internet requires a phone line to your house to work.
Please have a statement confirming completion of
your ten (10) hours of service when you apply for a computer.
The statement must be on official
stationary telling what volunteer work was done, when done, hours
completed.
*The volunteer
hours must be done specifically to earn credit
for a computer and must be done for a not-for-profit
community organization such as a school, church, neighborhood
organization, or other charitable organization.
Application and
other necessary information is on our Internet web site:

A librarian at any public library will help you print out these necessary
forms.
