Tech Donation Program
Our community tech donation program exists to give unused devices a second life. We operate this program without grants, sponsors, or outside funding — just honest work, community support, and the belief that technology should be accessible to everyone.
Our Purpose
We started this program to help individuals and families who need working technology but may not have the means to purchase it. Every donated device becomes an opportunity for someone in our community to stay connected, complete schoolwork, apply for jobs, or simply get back online.
How We Fund This Program
We do not receive grants or outside financial support. Instead, we use funds from our paid repair services to help cover the cost of parts, tools, replacement components, and transportation for the donation program. When you choose Shane’s Tech Rescue for a repair, you directly help support this community effort.
What We Do With Donated Tech
- Professionally wipe all data to protect your privacy
- Diagnose and refurbish devices whenever possible
- Use parts from non‑repairable devices to fix others
- Recycle unusable components responsibly
- Provide working devices to community members in need
Every device is handled with care and restored to the best condition possible before being given away.
Who We Help
We support:
- Families in need
- Students without reliable devices
- Individuals seeking employment
- Community members facing financial hardship
Anyone who needs a working device can apply using the form below.
Important Disclaimer
We can only give out what is donated. Because every device comes from community contributions, availability changes week to week. We cannot help everyone, but we help everyone we can. Every request is reviewed, and devices are distributed as they become available.
How to Donate
