Have a computer you want to get rid of?

Easter Seal Society has an adaptive technology/computer loan program which refurbishes computers to serve our disabled population of all ages in Spokane County at no charge. There is a display lab set up on Sharp. This was formed in recent years by a retired Spokane Schools Occupational Therapist and is now tied in with WATA (Washington Assistive Technology Association) at the UW in Seattle. Until then, Ellensburg was the closest connection for all these folks. So, please consider donating if you are not already doing so. Location: 606 W. Sharp. Phone: 509-326-2203
