We look forward to hosting our next device distribution event on Wednesday, September 30th at the Menard Center in Merrill. Registration information will be shared in the near future.

Every device on this table represents an opportunity to connect, learn, work, and thrive.

While only 10 are pictured here, Techquity has helped distribute 28,000+ devices to eligible Wisconsin residents. This impact is possible thanks to the dedication of local United Ways, community partners, navigators, and volunteers working together across the state.

For many ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families, access to extracurricular activities, job training, mentorship programs, and educational opportunities can be limited by financial challenges. By investing in youth, we're helping build brighter futures for tomorrow.

Together, with the support of local United Ways, we can all help ensure every child has the support, resources, and opportunities they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

As a result of our partnership with United Way Wisconsin, 75 individuals in our area were able to receive a computer through this program. Each of them received ongoing support from a Digital Navigator to help them maximize their device usage. One Merrill participant shared "Without this program and it's amazing employees I would have had to drop my classes. I appreciate this assistance more than anyone could ever imagine."

More than 26,000 people across the state have begun their Techquity journey. For many, the journey started in a room like this, where they received a Techquity device and navigation support. For participants, this opens up countless new opportunities for school, work, health, and more.

This is made possible through the combined power of local United Ways, community partners, navigators, and volunteers across the state.
