Welcome to Free Geek

This is a great non-profit in Portland Oregon. I am volunteering there in a couple of weekends. Watch the video to know the details. The basic idea is; take in used computers and recycle or re-purpose them. Re-purposing them means that members of the community that don't have a computer, can volunteer some time and earn a machine, as well as, be taught how to use it.

They also share in the open-source philosophy so all of the machines are loaded with Ubuntu.

See their site at www.freegeek.org and if you are in Portland go check out the Thrift store or volunteer.
