In the wake of the COVID pandemic, it’s more apparent than ever that digital tools and skills are essential for most of our basic, day-to-day needs and activities. However, tens of thousands of our neighbors are still without access to these vital tools and skills. Techquity aims to solve digital inequity by ensuring access to affordable broadband, reliable devices, and digital skills and literacy training. 

United Way has set a goal: distribute 50,000 computers in five years. 

You can help.
