Due to COVID-19, Kramden has shut down operations beginning Monday, March 23rd. We will not award any additional computers until further notice.
While Kramden worked hard to prepare computers, community members stepped up to lend a hand. After learning that Kramden was giving away free computers, DeAngela, an active member of the community, jumped in to help. She was able to identify families in need and personally delivered 9 computers to those without access to transportation.

Access to high-speed internet is crucial today for educational, business and health care opportunities.
Tune in tonight at 7pm on WRAL-TV and WILM-TV to see how the digital divide is affecting residents of Enfield, a small town in northeastern North Carolina.
“Disconnected” shows the struggles of a community that lacks quality broadband access, and the change possible when access becomes available.
