Besides working with schools and families directly, PCF is committed to help Community Centers, Churches, After School programs, and anyone else willing to make computers available to their communities free of charge. That includes supporting other organizations, non-profits, and programs by providing them with computers and projectors, or assist in teaching classes.
PCF has partnered with various other organizations that run programs to benefit the communities we serve. Often times these organizations are able to recruit volunteers, find space for their programs, and so forth. But they typically have a hard time raising the funds required to purchase computers. By providing these organizations with computers to use (and/or hand out), PCF has been able to increase our reach into the communities we serve.
