Valentine’s Day might be considered the ultimate Hallmark Holiday, but we think it's the perfect opportunity to showcase the Laptop Upcycle people that make the love happen in our lab:
Our “clients” Yep, these are the students who get a laptop. They’re so grateful and thrilled to be in school and online with a computer that is their own. Our volunteers Drivers delivering laptops throughout COVID and instructors working with our interns. Our community donors Single laptops and providing gift cards and cash when we need it most. Our foundation donors The Don Katz and Leslie Larson Foundation, Montclair Foundation, Best Buy Community Grant, and The United Way of Montclair for the support funding, the grants and the lab space. Our high school interns They're showing up every Thursday and Sunday, enthusiastically learning and earning community service hours (and fixing laptops, cables, and more). Our corporate donors Guardian Data Destruction, Pfizer, Essence Global Advertising and Ukodit for donating laptops and computer bags. Can you tell we love our Laptop family - our interns, volunteers and donors! And the kids! How do we know the efficacy of our program? Just read the appreciative notes from students, parents and teachers. It’s AMAZING how much love comes with a working laptop. During February, please consider showing us the love with a laptop donation, your time or $$. And, we’ll send you a Hallmark-worthy thank you (and tax receipt you'll really love)! Love, The whole, really grateful, Board of Laptop Upcycle - 8 dedicated people working tirelessly to keep laptops coming in the door, running our student internship program, writing emails, social media, submitting grants and so much more.
