In 2018, Affinity Plus partnered with
PCs for People to provide refurbished computers to families in need while also keeping tons of electronics out of landfills! PCs for People is a Minnesota non-profit dedicated to recycling business electronics and repairing computers which are then provided to low-income households.
Affinity Plus upgraded and replaced 182 computer operating systems in 2018 with the old systems going to PCs for People. Together with PCs for People, we diverted 17,747 pounds (8.9 tons!) of electronics away from landfills. By the end of 2018, 62 computers had been repaired and distributed to families in need and more computers are yet to be processed and distributed in 2019.
“The support of Affinity Plus allowed PCs for People to positively impact the lives of low-income families and gave 130 children access to a computer,” said Wolfie Browender, Director of Recycling Partnerships, PCs for People. “We are so thankful to Affinity Plus for their support on behalf of the men, women and children we serve.”
According to PCs for People, 65% of the recipients have never owned a computer before. We are proud to help provide access to computers for those in need and provide a life-changing impact for individuals and families!
