ROANEnet Technology Access Program (RTAP)

Receive, Restore, Redistribute

Receive

In conjunction with our alliance partners, ROANEnet provides the ability for Roane County citizens to donate old digital devices, digital literacy training and FREE refurbished working computer systems to families with no home computer.

During our DIGITAL DEVICE DONATION DRIVE, Roane County individuals and businesses can donate unneeded digital devices such as computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, etc. We will accept device donations even if the equipment doesn’t work. ROANEnet will provide the donor with a receipt for all their digital devices that have been donated.

ROANEnet then picks-up the donated equipment from the donation sites and delivers the devices to our refurbishment partner. 

Restoration and Redistribution

In conjunction with our alliance partner, Tellico Village Computer Users Club, RTAP restores and gives away refurbished computer systems to needy families in Roane County.

All donated computer systems and peripherals are inspected and cleaned, the operating system, all programs, and any remaining personal information is removed from the computer.  A new operating system and basic applications are installed so that a “clean” system can be delivered to a deserving student. 

If your school-aged child, K-12 (who lives in Roane County) needs a computer and you have NO working computer in your home, ROANEnet has FREE refurbished desktop computer packages available (desktop computer, mouse, keyboard, monitor, printer, ink, paper).

Please contact [email protected] to volunteer or become an alliance partner.
