What happens to electronic donations?

Gresham is partnering with Free Geek, a nonprofit organization that safely and securely refurbishes locally donated technology and redistributes it at no or low cost. Free Geek helps the communities most impacted by digital inequity by providing vulnerable populations with the digital literacy skills they need to succeed and thrive. What cannot be refurbished is recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
