Techworks Gives Back

Ronkonkoma, NY – June 8^th, 2023

Techworks Consulting, Inc. has initiated our Techworks Gives Back program, where our team has dedicated time and resources to help nonprofits and our Long Island Community by providing technology they typically would go without. As part of this initiative, we have curated a dedicated team who have donated their time and expertise to review and refurbish decommissioned laptops and desktops, ensuring it is restored to full working order.

In an effort to give back to the community and support organizations making a difference, Techworks Consulting recognized the immeasurable value of equipping non-profits with essential resources as they often face budget constraints. By repurposing the gently used laptops, the company aims to bridge the technology gap and empower these organizations to fulfill their missions more effectively.

Techworks Gives Back is delighted to announce that our recent donation of ten refurbished laptops will be donated to Long Island Against Domestic Violence, a non-profit organization committed to providing support and resources to survivors of domestic violence. These laptops will enable the organization to enhance their services and further their mission of breaking the cycle of domestic abuse.

Over the past month, the Techworks Gives Back volunteer team has been volunteering our time diligently to assess 10 laptops and perform necessary repairs and upgrades and replace all required hardware. We’ve ensured that the donated equipment met the highest standards of quality and performance. Through their meticulous efforts, the laptops were transformed into refurbished workstations that perform as if brand new.

This August, Techworks partenered with the Child Center of New York (CCNY) to help assist with their annual backpack drive. Every donation made ensured that a K-12 student in their program would receive a supply-filled backpack for the upcoming school year. We were able to raise over $1200 and support 40 kids with brand new backpacks and supplies!

Techworks Gives Back has dedicated itself to our Tech4Good initiative this year, working together with nonprofits to give them technology they typically would go without. Recently, with the donation of decommissioned technology from Sachem Public Library, we were able to donate 5 complete workstations to a school in need, P.S. 272 Curtis Estabrook in Brooklyn, NY. When we received the technology, our team volunteered their time and worked together to review all the equipment to make sure it was able to be restored to working order. Our techs then destroyed all data, and refurbished workstations to make sure it performs brand new. It was our pleasure to hand deliver them to PS 272 this past Friday.

This holiday season, Techworks Gives Back participated in Sachem Public Library and the Town of Brookhaven's INTERFACE's Holiday Toy Drive in order to collect and donate toys to those children in need. During Techworks' Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in November, we collected donations from our friends and families in attendance, along with members of our staff through the season. At Sachem Public Library's Holiday Market, Techwork's Executive Vice President, Thomas Lohr (pictured) along with Marketing Coordinator, Susie Henaghan (pictured), donated the collected toys to Neely McCahey(pictured), Director of the Sachem Public Library.

The Techworks Team collected toys to be donated to the Town of Brookhaven’s Interface program. The toys were brought to the Sachem Public Library and presented to Councilman La Valle on behalf of Techworks Gives Back and our commitment to support our community initiatives.

Techworks Gives Back, our community and outreach initiative, donated 8 refurbished desktop computers, monitors, keyboards and mouse to the Family Service League of Long Island which were distributed to students for virtual learning.

COVID-19 has presented significant challenges. Many families do not have the resources to access virtual learning platforms. The Techworks Consulting team wanted to do their part to lend a helping hand.

As part of Techworks Consulting's ongoing commitment to giving back to the Long Island community and their Techworks Gives Back program, they organized a donation drive to support Long Island Against Domestic Violence (LIADV) and their communities. Once these devices were collected, the Techworks team put their skills to work to ensure each device was operating successfully and ready for use. 

With the help of donations from clients and friends of the firm, the Techworks team was able to collect numerous pieces of technology. Their dedicated and driven staff volunteered their own time, often staying late after work to ensure each piece of donated technology was throughouly reviewed, repaired and refurbished. Once ready, they worked with LIADV to arrange a safe pickup.

LIADV had this to say, "Thank you to the Techworks staff and the many donors who contributed to providing laptops, kindles and smartphones to our clients.”

The Techworks team is grateful for the opportunity to give back and are looking forward to their next chance to make a difference in their community.

About Techworks Gives Back
Altruism is at the heart of our Core Values, which is why we created Techworks Gives Back. We’ve made it an ongoing initiative to collect used computer equipment (laptops, iPads, cell phones, etc.) and refurbish them for donation purposes.  We work with organizations that provide services and support to Long Island Communities providing them the resources needed for distant learning, communication and a means to work remotely.  The Techworks Gives Back Task Force is made up of staff members to help facilitate, document, repurpose and oversee this initiative.

Techworks team members joined thousands of runners to honor Lt. Michael P. Murphy for his bravery and service in Afghanistan.

As part of our annual Techworks Gives Back event our staff gathered to help “Stamp Out Hunger” by volunteering to box up and distribute food amongst the Long Island community members in need.

As part of our ongoing community involvement initiative, Techworks Gives Back, we will be participating in the Voorheesvile Family Bicycle Day!
