Hi Folks,

 

If any of you are in the process of upgrading PCs and have a PC that you'd like to donate, the Food Bank of North Carolina would sincerely appreciate your old PC!  We use portables for the "All Request Thanksgiving", and it's usually a scramble to borrow them, load the application, use them for the day, take off the application, and return them promptly to the generous folks who lent them to us.  Either desktops or portables would be fine, but there is a special need for portables.

 

Lois Walker has provided specs below for the ideal donations.  If you can help, we'd be very grateful!

 

Thanks much!

 

Sincerely,

Colleen
