Are you receiving or gifting a new tablet or computer to someone his holiday season? If so, have you thought about what to do with the older device that may no longer be needed? The INDATA Depot has a waiting list of individuals with disabilities in Indiana who are in need of refurbished computers.
Each year, the INDATA Depot refurbishes hundreds of laptop and desktop computers. Each donated computer is cleaned from the inside out by removing any old personal data, adding extra RAM, a recent version of the operating system and other specs as needed.
Donation computers should have: 2GB of RAM, be no more than five years old, a dual core processor, a minimum hard drive space of 80 GB and have a DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive. Monitors. keyboards, mice and speakers are not required with the computer donation but encouraged.
Recipients of the computers are individuals who live in Indiana and have a documented disability. They have applied to receive a computer for school, work or independent living, but many are on a waiting list as the donations do not match the need.
To donate a computer, contact the INDATA Depot at 317-466-1000. Corporate donations of more than one dozen computers may schedule a time for the Depot to pick them up.
