Kramden Institute

Important Information About Kramden Operations:

We are happy to announce that Kramden has resumed partial working operations and has made a number of important changes, so please read the following carefully:

All volunteer events including Wednesday Work Nights and Mini Geek-A-Thons are still on hold for the time being.
Surplus Sales and walk-in sales are still suspended; we are planning on resuming Surplus sales sometime in July with social distancing measures in place.
In-person technical support and repair services are still suspended: we offer technical support over the phone if needed.
We are accepting individual computer donations: donation carts and receipts have been placed outside our office doors. Equipment can dropped off anytime between 9AM and 5PM during weekday hours (we cannot accept weekend donations) and will be collected twice a day.

Thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, Kramden continues to serve those in need of a computer. Since the pandemic’s start, we have distributed over 1,000 computers to students, families and community organizations.

If you are in need of a computer, please visit our Programs to learn more.

Since the pandemic was declared in March, Kramden has distributed 1,500 computers to families in need (2,080 have been distributed in 2020) and conducted over 60 online workshops! There continues to be a huge need for devices and thankfully many donors have stepped-up to provide Kramden with devices and funding. We miss hosting Geek-A-Thons and the large amount of computers such events produce, but our staff is working hard to keep up with the demand. ... See MoreSee Less
