EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA) – About 50 imperial county locals received free laptops Wednesday afternoon at the El Centro Library.
AT&T, along with Human IT, provided 50 dell Chromebooks to the Imperial Regional Alliance to give away to locals in need.
Timothy Kelley, the Imperial Regional Alliance CEO, explains how these laptops will help locals.
“As things like the broadband advance, everything to come get digital that if you don’t have access to the Internet, either just having the service or having a computer, then you’re just falling further behind and we’re seeing that are furthest from the services need the service is the most,” said Kelley.
Last year, about 200 laptops were distributed to locals. Kelley says they hope to continue helping locals in Imperial County.
