Elliot Labs LLC securely refurbishes donated computers and gives them, free of charge, to people who might otherwise be unable to afford one.

Every accepted computer is carefully sanitized, tested, updated, and prepared for practical day-to-day use. The goal is simple: protect the previous owner’s privacy while giving the next owner a dependable tool for learning, working, communicating, and building a better future.

Serving individuals and organizations across the Augusta area.

I did not begin with new equipment, a technology budget, or a computer purchased for me.

I began with discarded computers from the side of the road.

I was fortunate enough to find multiple systems containing compatible components. By learning how the machines worked and combining usable parts, I was able to build a functioning computer.

That computer opened a world of opportunity.

It gave me a place to experiment, learn, create, automate, and solve problems. Computers became the foundation of my career and helped make me who I am today.

Elliot Labs LLC exists, in part, to give that same kind of opportunity to someone else.

A donated computer may help a person:

• Apply for employment
• Complete schoolwork
• Learn a technical skill
• Access essential online services
• Build a résumé
• Communicate with family
• Explore an interest that becomes a career

A computer is not merely a piece of equipment. In the right hands, it can be a door.
