Time Sensitive Call for Technology Needs for R&P and APA Clients
Welcome.Us has secured the donation of 20,000 phone plans and 10,000 phones from several tech companies. Welcome believes they will be able to obtain the additional 10,000 phones as well as donations of 30,000 computers and tablets alongside more phones and phone plans if we can demonstrate urgent and substantial need.
To do so, and support negotiations for additional donations from these companies, we ask that you post your requests for phones, phone plans, and computers to the Welcome Exchange BY FRIDAY 9:00 PM ET (Feb 4th 9 PM ET) (please register and post here: https://welcome.us/exchange). As the companies post corresponding offers in the following days, if you have posted a need you will be alerted that an offer is available to claim on the site.
