Tech helping to create connection

In today’s world, having a computer and internet access is critical.

Computers help people stay in touch with family, talk to doctors, apply for help, pay taxes, fulfill their basic needs and apply for jobs. It’s not just a luxury, it’s a basic need for daily life.

Thanks to the support of our donors, 46 of our locations got new, fast and reliable computers this summer. People are already using them and seeing the benefits.

Nicole said that because of the reliable technology, she feels reassured knowing that Coast is there to help with her tech needs.
