FREE LAPTOP PROGRAM GETS AN UPGRADE
Founded last fall, LAPTOP UPCYCLE has provided scores of donated laptops and free wifi to
Buzz Aldrin and Renaissance middle schools or Montclair High School students who lack home
computer access. Now, with a $3,500 grant from The Montclair Foundation, the nonprofit can
also provide replacement batteries and missing power supplies for the otherwise functional
laptops. For information on how to volunteer or donate laptops and/or funds, go to
laptopupcycle.org. Donors receive a tax-deductible receipt of $300 for each usable,
donated computer.
