ROANEnet Digital Lab

Empowering Our Community Through Technology

The ROANEnet Digital Lab is a hub for digital literacy and skills training, providing access to computers, internet connectivity, and a variety of educational resources. Located in Roane County, TN, our Digital Lab offers a welcoming space where individuals of all ages can explore, learn, and engage with technology in a safe and supportive environment.

Donate Your Technology – Give the Gift of Access

Have unused digital devices? You can make a big impact! We accept donations from individuals, businesses, and schools, including computers (desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets), monitors, keyboards, printers, mice, speakers, and more—even if the equipment isn’t working.

If you or your organization would like to donate old computers, printers, or other digital devices, please bring them to Patterson’s Home Appliances in Harriman, TN.

Restore and Redistribute – Giving Technology a Second Life

At ROANEnet, we carefully inspect, clean, and refurbish all donated devices. All personal data and old programs are securely wiped and destroyed. We then install an updated operating system and essential applications, delivering a “clean” computer to a deserving individual.

Need a Computer? Get a FREE Refurbished Device

If your household doesn’t have a working computer, ROANEnet offers FREE refurbished desktop computer packages (including a desktop computer, mouse, keyboard, and monitor) to those in need. To request a package, please fill out the Computer Package Request Form.

Together, we can bridge the digital divide and empower our community through technology.
