Gently Used Tablet and Laptop Donations Needed for Westchester Students

Family Services of Westchester (FSW), today announced it is collecting laptops and tablets to support virtual learning for low-income students in its programs. Unlike Scarsdale, some high need Westchester districts are unable to provide devices for all students this fall.

In the spring during remote-online learning, many of FSW’s client families had children sharing devices or had no device at all. Without proper technology, there were children who were unable to participate in virtual schooling.

Many of the 20,000 children in FSW programs are already struggling with the effects of extreme adversity including poverty and/or, coping with trauma, mental illness and substance abuse in their families. FSW supports these children with counseling, education and support. FSW’s device drive aims to connect families with the proper technology to stay on track in school.

Westchester residents can donate lightly-used tablets and laptops (iPads, Chromebooks, etc) at one of FSW’s locations below. Devices should have power cables and be unlocked (e.g. Apple products). iPad cases are a plus.

There are two drop-off locations for devices (open during office hours only):

FSW's Center for All Ages
106 North Broadway
White Plains, NY 10603

FSW Main Office
2975 Westchester Avenue, Suite 401
Purchase, NY 10577

Those who wish to make a monetary donation can donate here and designate “tech drive.”
