Alan's Affordable Organizes Fundraiser
The local computer shop sell computers and gives to those in need
Alan’s Affordable Computers
is a personable Stone Ridge computer store filled with a variety of Mac and PC
computers. Owner Alan Marker claims he can find anyone the right computer for
his or her needs and budget—staying true to his business name.
But Alan is much more than
your ordinary businessman; he is a philanthropist. Alan began a foundation,
Computers 4 the Needy, as his way of contributing to the quality of life of
individuals in need. With the help of our supportive community, he has donated
over 800 computers to charities, schools, senior citizens, and veterans groups,
and these donations are changing people’s lives. School children who never had
access to technology are now holding technology in their hands.
Alan suggests to “reflect
upon the many things you are able to do with your computer and how much it is a
part of your life. Now, imagine how your life would be without a computer.” Our
access to information is vital to our ability to keep up with opportunity in
today’s world. Computers 4 the Needy is dedicated to helping bridge the gap
between those individuals who have a computer and those who do not.
Alan’s Affordable Computers
and WKZE 98.1 FM are sponsoring a benefit concert and dance party for three
local organizations. Bring your old and new computers and monitors for
Computers 4 the Needy, bring non-perishable food donations for the Rondout
Valley Food Pantry, and bring your dancing shoes! A portion of the proceeds
will also support the Kripplebush Fire House.
