“Owning a computer and having at-home and mobile internet access is not a luxury. These are a necessity for everyone so that they may access a variety of resources, jobs, educational opportunities, productivity tools, and people, places, and amazing animals around the world.” – The team at Shedd Aquarium, who donates their retired computers to PCs for People. Join the mission to ensure every family has a computer at home by visiting chi.gov/DeviceDonation.

Through Chi Device Donation Month, the City encourages organizations to donate old or retired computers and laptops. Take it from Shedd Aquarium, a long-time donor of its devices: “Something as simple as providing used technology equipment to be refurbished means that more individuals and families will obtain the digital tools needed to succeed in the 21st century.” Learn more and donate devices at chi.gov/DeviceDonation
