OVERWHELMING COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO BREAK-IN

December 8, 2006 Free Geek has seen an enormous amount of community response resulting from our recent break-in. We would like to say thank you to all of the generous donors who ran to the aid of the Geek!

  • Providence St. Vincent's gave us 180 awesome computers
  • Hardware donations are way up (including laptops and laptop RAM)
  • Folks from all around the country have sent in money to help us through, including many small donations, several $100-$200 donations, a $450 donation, a $500 donation, and one $1000 donation! Everything counts, so they're all rock stars to us!
  • In sum, we've received about $4,000 in monetary donations since the break-in. This takes us a long way towards our end-of-year fundraising goal of $6,000

Thank you so much to everyone who responded so generously, from the smallest donation up to the largest. You've all helped us to keep computers out of landfills and get them into the hands of those who need them.
