Techquity Momentum Continues to Grow
The digital world moves fast and for many in our community, keeping up starts with having the right device. That’s why we’re proud to continue advancing the Techquity program, a statewide initiative making technology more accessible for individuals and families who need it most. Techquity provides refurbished laptops to eligible residents, helping remove barriers to education, employment, financial stability, and connection.
Here in Manitowoc County, the impact is already clear and growing. In just the first three months of 2026, we have:
- Distributed 13 laptops in January
- 21 laptops in February
-
And will distribute 24 more by the end of March
With new inventory arriving monthly and referrals increasing, our local program is on track to meet its goal of providing 150 laptops by November 2026.
Community Partnerships Fueling Success
Our progress is possible thanks to strong referral partnerships with agencies across the county, including:
- Lakeshore CAP
- The Crossing of Manitowoc County
- Lakeshore College
- Lighthouse Recovery Community Center
- The Salvation Army of Manitowoc County
- Head Start
- InCourage
These organizations help us connect with individuals who can benefit most from having a reliable laptop at home.
Real Stories. Real Impact.
Behind every laptop is a story and often, a turning point.
