CRECER - How Do I ?
Apply For a Computer?
CRECER makes awards of computers for charitable, educational and religious purposes. We have a special interest in rural and low-income projects in the general vicinity of San Antonio, Texas. CRECER can not furnish shipping and transportation of equipment being awarded. If you are requesting equipment for a location not in the vicinity of San Antonio, Texas, please indicate to us how you will arrange equipment transportation. If you qualify, tell us what you want the computer to do, the minimum you can accept, how you will solve problems with the machine, whether you will help us with the curriculum and evaluation, and send it to us at the address below, or complete and submit this simple form.

Currently, we are accepting only 486, or better, working systems. We will still accept working components as follow: IDE hard drives, VGA color monitors, printers, PS2 keyboards and "mouses", CDROM drives, 28800 modems. Donors drop off their equipment on Saturday morning work days held at our workshop. We are there between 9am and noon.
