CSSEA Computer Assistance Program

What is the CSSEA Computer Assistance Program?
We facilitate the recycling of computers and related devices from a wide range of donors and provide them to members and associates in our sector that are in need of equipment. These donations allows agencies to provide extra services to clients, increase productivity or offer clients additional resources.

How old are the computers and equipment?
The equipment are second hand, so computers often range from 3-5 years old. We will try to assess your needs to make sure you get the correct system requirements for the software that you are using. We do not guarantee the condition of any hardware but do confirm the devices are working before being shipped out.
