Nov. 15 is America Recycles Day. Already the fastest growing waste stream globally, E-waste now accounts for up to 70% of toxic waste in landfills in the U.S. Individuals may bring surplus IT to Kramden and businesses may ask us to pick up for free. check www.kramden.org/donate-a-computer for the list of accepted items. Thanks!

Today, Kramden salutes all Americans who have served our country and veterans who have honored us with their time, knowledge, and spirit of sharing and caring. A shoutout to our friends at TechforTroops in Richmond this #veteransday . #veterans #service #digitalequity

A huge thank you to Joey and Isaac from @servicebe

A huge thank you to Joey and Isaac from @servicebeakers! After a year-long computer drive, these high school seniors collected more than 900 laptops and desktops. 200 of these computers were sent to a school in Honduras where many students did not have the ability to participate in classes remotely during the pandemic.

We are so grateful to Isaac and Joey for choosing to donate the remaining devices to Kramden! These computers will go to low-income families and adults in North Carolina through our many digital equity programs.
