Computers Needed! - Did you get a new computer for Christmas? Not sure what to do with the old one? We've got the answer! St. Stephen Housing Association is in need of computer and computer software donations for their families. Many of these families are looking for work or are going back to school to help them find better employment and could use a computer to help them accomplish these things. Your old computer can be put to great use and help out a struggling family! We are looking for the following:

Desktop computers 2.4mghz and larger
Laptop computers 1.7 mghz and larger
Flat screen monitors
Software: Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003 or newer. Software programs also must have

the accompanying 25 digit key code.
