Helping Shelby County Schools provide their students with the technology they need to learn while at home.
Donate computers, laptops, and tablets directly to a school.
Your donation will go to a student in need
School staff who work directly with students and their families have identified students in their school who don't have a computer or laptop at home. These students are unable to do homework or online learning at home. Donated items will go directly to these students.
If you'd like to make a monetary contribution for internet access or devices, please visit the SchoolSeed Foundation and specify your gift for Douglass High School/FACE TechShare901.
