Donating computers to better lives

Each month, an ArcStone staff member chooses a cause that's important to them and with the help of the crew, we find a way to donate our time or items to a charity of the staff member's choosing.This month, our developer Ryan Hayle, found Free Geek Twin Cities. The non-profit organization takes old computers, laptops, and equipment, cleans them up, and donates them.

Not only does it benefit the environment by not putting these items into landfills, but it also benefits people in need that may not be able to afford a new laptop.
