We are a Christian ministry located in the Pasadena, California area dedicated to supplying free or low cost refurbished computers and laptops to any person or charitable organization who is in need. We strongly believe that to have a computer or laptop empowers people to stay current and productive.

We E-waste responsiblyWe are passionate about extending the lifespan of computer hardware to reduce over consumption & waste in electronics. We will take any computers and laptops working or not from any individual or organization. Then we attempt to refurbish donations so they are back to working order. Those that cannot be refurbished we strip for parts and responsibly E-waste the leftovers. Why is this important?

The hard-drives in donation machines are always securely wiped to Department of Defense standards. See picture below of 4 hard drives being wiped: |
We NEED donationsAll of the computers and laptops that we give out are from donations from people like YOU. Without your help we could not provide. Do you work at or know of a company, school, college, organization or church group who is getting rid of computers or laptops? Please consider having them contact us. Of course will will also take individual donations as well. There are some limitations on what we can accept however. |
