- THE PROJECT
How you can help
The Lowcountry Digital Equity Coalition, in partnership with Palmetto Goodwill, is kicking off a summer long drive to provide 2000 laptops to K-12 students in Title 1 schools in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester County by the start of the 2024-2025 School Year.
The goal of the project is to help achieve South Carolina’s Digital Equity Plan’s device availability goal that every resident of South Carolina can access a desktop or laptop computer at home or in an accessible location.
- ABOUT THE PROJECT
Strategic partnerships lead to success
To help achieve this goal, LDEC is inviting tri-county area businesses to donate surplus laptops to the coalition between June 18 – August 30th. Palmetto Goodwill will refurbish donated laptops and provide a new hard drive made possible by generous funding provided by Comcast.
LDEC will be coordinating with schools to distribute the laptops at their school events beginning after school starts. More details will be posted here and via the LDEC LinkedIn Page.
Next Steps:
Once your form is submitted, an LDEC representative will confirm receipt and make the arrangements for pick-up or drop-off of the donated laptops, whichever is preferable to your organization.
For more information, please contact Stacey Lindbergh, LDEC Co-Manager at 843.437.1751 or Stacey@tricountycradletocareer.org.
