TechReach of Central Va. is a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization formed in 2007 that receives donated computers from individuals and businesses, then refurbishes and licenses them for distribution to deserving students and adults who are unable to purchase a home PC due to economic reasons. This is about getting technology in the hands of those who otherwise wouldn’t have access to it.

TechReach offers kids an exciting opportunity to gain the necessary high tech skills needed to join the workforce as computer literate adults and navigate in our complex electronic world.  We also provide underprivileged adults the tools to be a productive member of today’s technology oriented society. Hundreds of students and adults have been assisted to date, with the possibilities for further distributions growing rapidly. 

Donations of computer equipment and software programs for TechReach's program are received from individuals and businesses. Our donation program helps to address the growing problem of older computer systems being discarded to the landfill or shelved and unused, taking up warehouse space.  It also provides a tax credit opportunity for the donors.

The process of refurbishing computers provides training opportunities to vocational students interested in computer sciences.  Internships are being developed with education programs that allow their students to receive real-time, hands-on experience.

Closing the "digital divide" and increasing knowledge and skills through use of home computers offers individuals in today's society an equal opportunity to succeed.  Reuse, reduction and recycling are key components of our program that has long-reaching effects benefiting the community and the environment.
