Got MacBooks & iMacs Collecting Dust? We Turn Them into Invaluable Tools for Students

Donate your Macs today - cultivate hope & success! All Out for Change® is fortunate to have a Mac specialist committed to helping our 11th & 12th graders, and college students stay on track by transforming your used equipment into essential tools for students in need. We have 4 more students with immediate needs.  If you live in the DC metro area, and would like to make arrangements for us to take computers off your hands and put them into students’ hands, please email me, maryann@alloutforchange.org.
Since March, we have equipped 21 students pursuing high school and college degrees with computers, allowing them to stay on track and connected during campus shutdowns and remote learning. With the invaluable help of Mitch at Computers on Demand, we have provided:

• 7 refurbished iMacs to 11th and 12th graders without computers at home in need of them for school and their college prep program; their tutor, and a student's family.
• 14 refurbished MacBooks to high school grads, college students who returned home without good working laptops, and 12th graders anticipating they’ll need them through the school year and then in college;
• we’re about to gift 4 more MacBooks to 2020 high school grads starting college online soon, and then hopefully safely on campus in the near future.

Campus shutdowns shed light on the “digital divide” and serious consequences for a student’s present ability to stay on course toward high school and college degrees, and future opportunities. Share in the gratification of a donated computer that’s essential to an ambitious youth’s educational & professional pursuits, and upward mobility.

Got Gift Cards?

Due to generous donations, we have put used and unused gift cards into the hands of students in need… gift cards that would have otherwise gone to waste. No need to figure out amounts.Gift card donors have sent us their cards for:

• Amazon, American Express, Target, Walgreens, Crate & Barrel, Walmart, and Macys cards helped pre-college students to purchase clothes, school supplies, dorm room furnishings, and other necessities.
• Restaurants including: iHop (a couple of special meals for a HS grad before college starts), Cheesecake Factory (a college prep program director will take students out to a restaurant after church), Morton's Steakhouse (to an outstanding college student, who has been a devoted volunteer mentor to 11th & 12th graders).

Help 2020 High School Grads Purchase Books This Semester
& Help 2021 High School Grads with College Prep

Supplemental Scholarship funds will help high school grads with expenses like small tuition gaps (enrollment not allowed otherwise), transportation to and from school, laptops, books & school supplies ($1,200), dorm room bedding and towels, essentials that students' families can't afford. 
College Access Funds typically help with for costs of college fairs, campus visits, college prep workshops, application fees; currently, many college students without housing and meals on campus have additional emergency needs for food and housing assistance, internet access during the pandemic and campus shut downs. 
Help make success happen through invaluable college prep programs we support: 

• American University awarded Desmond a full scholarship to study Computer Science to pursue a career in IT; Clyde, a Cameroonian refuge, received a 89% scholarship to study pre-med and biology at Albright College in PA; also with Scholarship funds, Janiya will attend Old Dominion University, and Denise, Bowie State University; Cierra, a Psychology major, graduated from Salisbury University, MD and will attend graduate school.  
• Braswell, has an undergraduate and graduate degree in Education and works for the Tucson School District; Fabricio participated in a professional and technical skills program and we hear he has "done marvelously as an IT guy", purchased a house for his family and, mentors a 12th grader.

With your support they can continue their coursework and pursue their professional aspirations en route to upward mobility.
