About us

Our Team

Volunteer Staff: Larry Hanson, Robert Gavel,
Ken Ballweg, Matt Forner, and Raina Lincicum.

C4PIN thanks its many volunteers and supporting organizations!  We could not do all we do without your help.

Our History

C4PIN  evolved from Computers 4 Kids, as a volunteer-driven organization committed to making computing affordable to low income and special needs members of Whatcom and Skagit counties.

In November 2017, C4PIN became an 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, and since then we have provided about 50 computers a year, and recycled hundreds more. Coming off the restrictions of Covid, with the help of new volunteers and our community partners, we are on target to provide between 200 and 250 laptops and desktops to people in need in 2023.

Our Mission

C4PIN is committed to responsible recycling of electronic waste while simultaneously helping low-income, senior, disabled and veteran communities – and the non-profits who serve them – by offering quality refurbished computers at low cost.
