Through its Computer Giveaway program, Compudopt gives qualifying households in select communities across the continental U.S. a chance to receive a FREE refurbished computer.

To qualify, your household must not currently have access to a working computer at home. Computers provided by a school or employer do not count toward this requirement.

Here’s how the program works:

Choose your city or area from the list of available giveaways
Complete the short registration form for your location
Register only once for your household
Names are selected randomly before local distribution events
Selected recipients will receive an email and/or text with pickup instructions

Note that registration is currently available in select cities and areas across 21 states plus Washington, DC. If your city is not listed, you can fill out Compudopt’s interest form to suggest your area for a future giveaway.

This could be a helpful resource for families and individuals who need reliable computer access for school, work, telehealth appointments, job searches, and staying connected.

Have an old device collecting dust? You can help another household by donating it to Compudopt! The organization accepts personal device donations, including computers, tablets, mobile devices, monitors, and accessories. Donated devices are securely wiped and may be refurbished for distribution or responsibly recycled.

Visit Compudopt’s personal donation page to submit your information and learn about available drop-off or donation options near you.
