Our Program
Computers are an essential requirement for many students and workers. Our technology team is working hard to keep up with the demand for refurbished laptops.
​
Our program has provided over 600 computers to registered families.
​​
Many of our volunteers are local high school students interested in IT, but anyone with IT knowledge or computer repair skills is welcome to help.
​
Volunteers also support Share’s internal IT operations and social media platforms.
​
Donate a
Computer
The Share Technology Program needs laptops with current Windows 10 or 11 software for our neighbors in need. We don’t accept any laptop which is older than 5 years and any printers.

We understand concerns about sensitive personal data on donated computers. All donated equipment is kept in a locked room under video surveillance. Computers are never booted up upon donation, but are re-formatted so that no previous information remains. If a hard drive cannot be used, it is destroyed so that no recoverable data remains.
Please bring laptop donations to Share during our normal food pantry hours.
​
Please email us at technology@shareofmclean.org to discuss what your company has to donate. Our volunteers will arrange delivery or possible pick up.
​
Request a
Computer
The Share Technology Program distributes laptops with current Windows 10 or 11 software to our neighbors in need who receive service from any of Share’s programs on a regular basis (MacBooks may be distributed upon special request). Each Share neighbor is eligible for one computer, however exceptions are possible for families based on certain circumstances.
​
Please stop by the Food Pantry on any regular opening and speak with
a volunteer to request a laptop.
