Computers 2 San Diego Kids wants all children and their families in San Diego, regardless of their economic status, to be computer literate and have equal access to technology and the crucial educational, occupational, and financial resources that technology provides. It’s able to do this through its Technology Assistance Program that recycles and refurbishes used computers and then delivers them to low-income families in San Diego. At this year’s Politifest, you can donate old electronics to C2SDK and help the cause.
