We're in the D.C. Metro Area
only a few miles from the white house.
Get a Taxi and drop off that unwanted computer and help a LOCAL Child in need.


Computers 4 Students and the Calvary United Methodist Church of Arlington, Virginia, team up to provide computers for disadvantaged families in Arlington's "Chirilagua" community.

The Calvary United Methodist Church's community outreach program targets this Arlandria community and provides training and support for these families and needed a cost-effective way of providing computer hardware as part of their program. Calvary Church members sponsored 24 computers!

Computers 4 Students (C4S)

Computers 4 Students (C4S) was created to assist economically and societally disadvantaged Arlington residents in overcoming the digital divide. C4S is a small non-profit organization, strategically located in the Columbia Pike corridor of South Arlington, which provides computer hardware and software to low-income individuals and families in Arlington County.

The organization’s approach has been to refurbish donated hardware and form community partnerships to increase the capacity of schools and non-profit organizations. To date, C4S’s work has emphasized the provision of technology hardware to individuals and families sponsored by other local community development organizations.

Here's how we work:

We collect excess hardware/software from business and government offices
We receive donations and sponsorships from individuals and organizations
We work with partners such as PC Retro to evaluate, upgrade or repair donated equipment
We purchase inexpensive hardware/software to assemble a complete, working computer
We distribute computers to students, training centers, and nonprofit organizations
