Kentucky Nonprofits Send Tech Donations to High Schools

Three Kentucky nonprofit organizations have worked together to donate technology equipment to eastern Kentucky high schools affected by flooding.

SOS, a Louisville-based organization focusing on addressing health issues in underserved communities, worked with the Mayor’s Office of Civic Innovation & Technology and the Best Buy Foundation to help replace computers lost during flooding earlier this year.

The organizations collected 100 laptop computers and 100 Chromebooks that were delivered to Knott County.

Brian Jointer, SOS Local Health Program Manager said, “It’s about who you know and their mission, and it’s been beautiful because it’s made helping others a lot easier”.

The shipment is one of several that SOS has donated to the Knott County Area Tech Center since the flooding.
