Support Students with Tech Drive Tuesday

For five Tuesdays and one Saturday, this summer, different Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union branches across the state will be hosting a drive in their parking lots to support Minnesota Computers for Schools. 

One drive will even be at KARE 11! 

Can't make the drive? Donate here to help provide computers free of charge to students.

Unused or unwanted equipment can be dropped off at the locations below. Data will be removed, and the devices will be repaired and refurbished for local students in need.  

Minnesota Computers for Schools provides technology to students by giving them the equipment they need to succeed in school.  

Financial Donations onsite will be accepted as well as the following: servers, computer towers, desktops, laptops, tablets, LCD monitors (no CRTs), networking equipment, mice, keyboards, and cell phones. For additional information, Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union's Tech Drive Tuesday Page.

For each usable laptop donated that is 5 years old or newer, the Affinity Plus Foundation will donate $150 to Minnesota Computers for Schools to provide a computer to a school or student in your community.
