Saugerties Methodist Church
The church accepts donations of used computers, scanners and printers which it fixes up (if necessary) and sells for $25 to $50. “It’s not the latest and greatest stuff,” said George Pardonner, who helps run the program. “Some of it is old, some is newer, but it’s all usable and some is even wireless.”
Call George at 246-5688, or call or stop by the Methodist Church located on Washington Avenue next to the library at 246-7802.
