    Laptops & Tablets:

    In order to fight learning loss and facilitate continued education, St. Francis Center did something unprecedented: During meal giveaways, we loaned every one of our laptop computers from our mobile lab out to our families--over 50. Now we are in need of laptops, particularly Chromebooks or tablets for our younger students.

    Before donating a used laptop or tablet, please perform the following steps:
    - Make sure it is no older than 3 years, and runs Windows 10 or Chrome OS
    - Perform a factory reset:
    for Windows 10 (Windows laptop of Microsoft surface): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415 (see "remove everything")
    for Chrome OS (Pixelbook, Chromebook, Tablet): https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183084?hl=en
    - Sanitize with a disinfectant wipe with a soft, linen-free cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol
    - Please pack safely for transport/shipping along with charger and any essential accessories
