These computers have been donated by church members and others, the problem is I cannot seem to tap into anywhere to give theseto single moms, dads, or even college students who maybe cannot afford the luxury of what is becoming a basic tool to be used for homework, job seaches etc.. all have basic office, systems, internet ready. See my sitewww.velveteencomputers.com for info.
Thanks

Most states have Rehabilitation Services that provide a few computers to a few people. I'm sure they would be delighted to receive your donation and make sure the computers get to those most in need. It's usually called DRS, and is sometimes associated with the unemployment office or the Food Stamp office. Your local Chamber of Commerce can probably give you the ph#.

contact a local youth bureau. I am sure they have a list of worthy kids that could use them to do homework or prepare themselves for a workp;ace requires knowledge of computers

perhaps habitat for humanity....they fix up old things and put 'em in the houses they build (i think). then there's always networking...ask around. see who needs what. if people are ashamed to ask or admit they're in need, try to just leave them with what they need and let it be. they'll be happy, and so will you.
