A moment we're still grateful to have been part of. 🙌 Last month, we had the honor of joining Thornton Township 4th Annual Transitioning to Success event, a day dedicated to empowering students as they step into their next chapter. We were proud to donate 12 devices to students heading to college next year — students who may not have otherwise had access to a personal computer. Because no one should have to start their college journey without the tools they need to succeed. Thank you to Thornton Township for having us. We can't wait for what's next. #freedevices #chicago #communityevent #PCsforPeople

💙 Meet Marcus. This 7-year-old gave our team a full run for their money on Apple specs and features — this kid knew his stuff! His mom spent months working toward making a MacBook a reality for him. The moment we got them in stock, she came right in, birthday still months away, and made it happen. She beamed the whole time. Because this wasn't just a gift. It was a tool for a child who is already passionate, curious, and ready to create. Stories like Marcus's are exactly why we do what we do. 💙 #pcsforpeople #techforgood #digitalequity #bridgingthedivide

PCs for People is proud to partner with GambiaRising, an organization dedicated to expanding access to technology and education in The Gambia. Through this partnership, approximately 25 computers are distributed each month, helping bridge the digital divide and create new opportunities for students and communities. These photos are from a recent distribution, and they’re a powerful reminder that our mission doesn’t stop at borders. At PCs for People, we believe digital access is a right, not a privilege, and partnerships like this allow us to extend that impact globally. Our progress isn’t just measured in numbers, but in the lives we help empower. #DigitalEquity #GlobalImpact #PCsForPeople #TechForGood #Nonprofit #BridgingTheDigitalDivide

We were proud to have our Director of Network Operations, Ryan Hodson, represent PCs for People at Philly Tech Week, where he joined a panel at Community College of Philadelphia focused on advancing digital equity and expanding connectivity. The conversation brought together leaders and partners committed to addressing the real challenges of broadband deployment, from infrastructure and affordability to ensuring long-term, sustainable access in underserved communities. It reinforced the importance of collaboration in closing the digital divide and creating meaningful, lasting impact. Thank you to Brigitte Daniel-Corbin for organizing such an important discussion, and to fellow panelists Moe Rahman, Natalie Wiltshire, Thomas Queenan, Anthony Maher, and Pamela Andrews for sharing their insights. We were grateful to be part of a collective effort pushing this work forward in Philadelphia and beyond. #PhillyTechWeek #DigitalEquity #Broadband #Connectivity #CommunityImpact #PCsForPeople #Philadelphia
