KBA to collect laptops for Emerald Youth Foundation

Posted on: Jul 16, 2020

 

Emerald Youth Foundation has identified a need of about 300 students within their system that need a laptop to learn and develop skills at home and they will distribute the laptops to students in need. RCN Technologies’ goal is to collect, sanitize, and recondition 300 laptops by August 31st to meet this need for our community. The KBA will serve as a collection center for members who wish to donate laptops to the Emerald Youth Foundation.

How To Donate

  1. Confirm your machine meets the minimum specifications needed for reconditioning (see below).
  2. Drop off your laptop at one of our laptop collection sites.
  3. Smile and know that something that was likely going to collect dust in a drawer will have a major impact on a child’s life…because of you.

What To Donate

We are collecting any laptop that meets the minimum standards below, however, Emerald Youth Foundation has expressed that Chromebooks would be the best type of machine to fit within their existing IT infrastructure, which will generate less ongoing maintenance and IT expenses for their organization.

Types of Computers Accepted

  • Chromebooks (preferred)
  • Laptops (all major brands)

Minimum Laptop Specifications

  • 64-bit x86 processor or equivalent
  • At least 2 GB of memory (RAM)
  • Hard drive (4 GB or larger)
  • USB port

What Happens To The Laptops

RCN Technologies’ TechLab IT technician team will follow a cleaning and reconditioning protocol for each device that is donated and meets minimum specifications.

  1. Physically clean and sanitize each device
  2. Securely erase all existing data on each device
  3. Reinstall core operating system and applications
  4. Test for proper functionality

 

KBA Members may drop off laptops at the KBA Office at 505 Main Street, Suite 50, up until August 31st.
