SUMMARY:PCs for People
DESCRIPTION:Why:\n\nFour in 10 people in poverty do not have a computer and many don't know how to operate one. Upward mobility often comes from digital access and competency.\n\n \n\nWhat:\n\nPCs for People is a national computer refurbisher with an impressive community support model that's been at work for over a decade in 10 large U.S. metro areas. It refurbishes outdated computers donated by companies for underserved residents\, provides computer skills training and on-call technical support\, and helps wire multi-family homes with free or low-cost internet service. PCs for People impact makes a real and immediate difference. Hundreds of thousands of underserved households served by this nonprofit see a 15% jump in their household incomes in the first year they have a PCs for People computer.\n\n \n\nWe need PCs for People in both the Richmond region and Hampton Roads market. Together we meet their expansion requirements   to be 3 million people with a trade area of 120 miles. PCs for People is now expanding into a few new large U.S. markets. We want them to do so here in our megaregion.\n\n \n\nHow:\n\nWe had an incredibly successful kickoff meeting on May 30 to attract PCs for People to the Richmond region to Hampton Roads. There was a lot of enthusiasm   one participant remarked that bringing PCs for People to the megaregion was "a no brainer." The PCs for People CEO was equally impressed by the excitement.\n\n \n\nBelow is a link to one of the recorded sessions from May 30 so you can review the presentation and listen to some of the Q&As: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/HJQNJAY0svuT5oJ6TALvRljBmXHiMw70ep-5McokEbKCRiTZ30PeO0ShLVTSndDR.hhm4-aqsEUcs-chF\n\n \n\n \n\nWhen:\n\nPlease join us on Tuesday\, July 23 at 10 a.m. at the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce's offices (11850 Merchants Walk\, Suite 110\, Newport News\, VA 23606)\n\n \n\nPCs for People's CEO Casey Sorensen will visit Virginia in-person.
