Computers for Communities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
corporation. Our goal is to help groups of people in all states start their
own local CFC - to take computers from their community, refurbish them and
redistribute them to the needy in their own community.
"I started Computers for Communities (CFC) in 2001 when I was 9 years
old. First I acquired computers that were being discarded from a local
school. Then I refurbished and distributed them to individuals in my
community that could not afford to have a computer at home. What a great
feeling to see the smiles on those kids' faces. I felt like I was Santa
Claus! Since then, I have created a non-profit organization that helps other
groups do the same thing: locate discarded computers, refurbish them, and
distribute them to those in need. To date, we have distributed over
1,000 computers! We There are many ways that you can help CFC with our
cause:
Educating the World through Technology.
Please browse our site, and see what we do, and how you can help."
Thanks,
Jacob

2007 BRICK Award
Winner: Jacob Komar
Jacob Komar had always played around with
computers: tearing them apart, seeing what made them tick and putting them
back together. For him, computers were a natural part of life, something in
his home that he almost took for granted. But Jacob soon realized that not
everyone had a computer in his home, so he decided to do something about it.
