Fresh Supply Bridges Digital Divide | Chicago News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Fresh Supply is turning old electronics into lifelines for Chicago’s West Side, collecting phones, laptops, and tablets at two neighborhood hubs to refurbish and distribute them free of charge—bridging the digital divide one device at a time. Born from a physics teacher’s eye on environmental injustice and fueled by mutual aid roots, this grassroots nonprofit is tackling e-waste and tech access head-on, even launching a text hotline for those without internet. With corporate partnerships in the works and a holiday giveaway on the horizon, they’re proving that community-driven solutions can power real change in our digital age.
