 HP Connects Employees to Product Giving

One of the most important aspects of the program is that it has allowed employees like Christopher McCormick the ability to support under-funded programs in their local community. “The Good360 program has enabled me to make a donation to several public schools in our area and specifically support aspects of the curriculum that are at times put at risk because of limited funding.” The program also allows nonprofit organizations struggling in today’s economy to receive critical technology to continue to serve people in need in their communities. The Bridge Academy and Community Center was a recent recipient of 10 HP TouchSmart Computers. “Before we received these computers, we had one computer that worked, and nine that were completely unusable. Since the donation of these computers, we have been able to use them for art classes, life skills classes, tutoring, completing projects and research, going on educational sites, completing job applications, online courses, and more.”…..Jordon Crans, Executive Director, Bridge Academy and Community Center. |
