Low-Cost Home Computers & Internet for Seniors
Thinking about taking the computer-at-home plunge? Hamline Midway Elders partners with PCs for People, a nonprofit making home computers more accessible to those at or below 200% of poverty level (around 2147/mo for a single person). Refurbished laptops sell for about $200, PCs start at $75 plus cost of monitor (around $25), monthly internet ($15/month through this program), and cost of an internet router (internet device-around $100). If you qualify, and want help purchasing a low-cost computer through our partnership with PCs for People, contact Monica Gallagher at (651) 209-6542. Unfortunately, we cannot help pay for the computer at this time—but we can help our neighbors 60+ who qualify get a great deal.
