Computer Access

PRC is now accepting donated computer items by appointment only!
Call 630-682-5402 extension 247.

If you would like to give and support our Computer Program, please consider donating from the items listed below:

• Working Windows-compatible laptops, at most 5 years old (Intel Core i3,i5 or i7 processors or AMD equivalent).
• Computers should be fully equipped with memory (4 GB ideally), hard drive (at least 256 GB) and ideally a CD/DVD drive.
• Our clients prefer laptops, that are equipped with a webcam, speakers, wifi access they need.

Computer ownership and skills have become essential in our digital world, but not everyone has equal access. Digital tools – something many of us take for granted – allow people to find jobs, complete school work and lead more connected and enriching lives.

People’s Resource Center’s Computer Access and Training program helps clients understand personal computer basics and teaches commonly used software programs, including Intro to Computers, Windows Fundamentals, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

As a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, PRC takes donated computers and refurbishes them for distribution to those who need a home computer. The Fix-It program provides free repairs on home computers for PRC clients.

Who can use the Computer Access Program?

Adults living in DuPage County who have registered as a PRC client may also receive one free refurbished computer per household.
Computer repairs are free of charge. Computer Training classes are available. Learn more here.
