PJ LIBRARY LETTERS & DRAWINGS FOR SENIOR-CARE FACILITIES

DONATE USED COMPUTERS TO STUDENTS IN NEED
If you have a used laptop or computer that you no longer use or need, there are children in Bridgeport who do not have computer access right now and cannot log in to their online school courses. Our friends at the Council of Churches of Greater Bridgeport are collecting used laptops and computers to distribute to Bridgeport youth at this time. If you have a computer or laptop to donate, please contact Rev. Cass Shaw at CassShaw@ccgb.org.
