A Twin Cities nonprofit will soon give local families computers to use.

PCs for People, a St. Paul-based group dedicated to getting computers in the hands of low-income families and individuals, has chosen Austin as one of 10 greater Minnesota communities to get 75-100 free computers.

“This is a win-win for businesses need to manage their end-of-lifecycle digital assets in a cost-effective way, and for the community,” said Casey Sorenson, executive director of PCs for People, in a press release.

The group will work with local businesses and organizations to identify families and individuals who will receive computers. The group will come to Austin in early May. PCs for People’s efforts are sponsored in part by the Blandin Foundation.
