By Wil Payton, Communications Specialist, Connected Nation
Connect Minnesota Program Manager Bill Hoffman recently toured the PCs for People facility to learn more about the great work this organization is doing to bring computers to low-income Minnesotans.
The photo of their warehouse shows shelves of computers waiting to be rehabbed and made available to eligible individuals and fa
milies across the state.
The Connect Minnesota 2011 Residential Survey found that only 65% of low-income residents have a computer at home, compared with 85% of citizens across the state.
“PCs for People gets computers into the hands of Minnesota families,” said Hoffman. “That is a vital first step in getting broadband into the home.”
