Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Computer Reach Form Partnership to End Digital Divide

The City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PA), and Computer Reach successfully donated 324 desktop computers, 74 laptop computers, 427 monitors, 243 keyboards, and 170 mice to Computer Reach. This first donation, totaling $92,000 and completed in early August 2022, is the culmination of multiple years of work by the Department of Innovation & Performance (I&P) to give back these devices to the community and avoid paying an e-waste recycler for proper disposal. Computer Reach is a Wilkinsburg, PA-based organization focused on making technology available to people most in need through refurbished equipment, computer literacy, training, and support. In addition to refurbishing devices, Computer Reach works to end the digital divide with its Digital Literacy Classes, Digital Navigator Program, and Computer Lotteries.
