Computers Needed
Jill Schramm/MDNShaine Zillmer, left, and Jay Gunderson, with KIS Computers, try out a computer that they have refurbished for the Computers for Kids program.
A project that provided computers to about 500 disabled children a few years ago is back in operation.
Jay Gunderson, owner of KIS Computers in Minot, said the company’s Computers for Kids suspended after 2005, having largely met the area’s need. It had started in 2004.
Gunderson now anticipates new needs and is working with Shaine Zillmer and Kale Hedberg, also of KIS Computers, to revive the program.
“I want to give out 1,000 computers this year. That’s a goal,” Gunderson said. He hopes to be distributing the first computers in July.
The program took in nearly 2,900 donated computers in its first round.
In its second round, the program won’t be taking printers or Apple computers but will take any Windows-operated computer.
