ATMC (Shallotte, N.C.) recently demonstrated its continued support of local education by donating 25 computers to the Computers for Kids project, an all-volunteer project that provides refurbished computers to students who do not have a home computer. Area businesses donate used computers to the Computers for Kids program through WAVES 4K.I.D.S., and volunteers refurbish them so that they may be redistributed to Brunswick County students in grades K-12.
When ATMC replaces its office computers, many taken out of service are recycled through the Computers for Kids project in an effort to provide a benefit to the community. ATMC has awarded Community Connections grant money for testing equipment and has donated more than 100 computers and accessories to the project since the program began in 2006. More than 1,800 Brunswick County students have been given computers through the Computers for Kids project since the program was established.
