The Akron Canton PC Users Group has been promoting computer literacy in northeastern Ohio since 1983. In their efforts to support the community the Akron Canton PC Users Group found that the elderly and others with low income were missing out on the benefits of technology and especially personal computers. This prompted them to develop a three-pronged outreach program of re-cycling, teaching free computer classes to the public and assisting non-profits with their technology programs. They have established a computer lab at Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority, where they have taught numerous classes and permitted other non-profit groups like OASIS to use the lab for their programs without cost. They also have provided refurbished computers to their students.
