The goal of the project is to allow state agencies to donate surplus computers to schools. The computers are refurbished by Correctional Industries, a part of the Department of Corrections. This allows inmates to learn marketable skills with assistance from the Community Colleges of Spokane Foundation. The computers are then donated to school districts that send them to the classrooms. From Ecology's perspective, an important bonus of this program is that the computers are kept out of landfills.
Used computers are a valuable resource that can help provide our kids with a good education.
