City of Topeka to give away nearly 400 laptops to qualifying Topekans

The City of Topeka is giving away 375 laptop computers to qualifying Topeka residents who are between the ages of 18 and 59 years old.

The program is part of the city’s digital equity initiative, TSC – Get Digital, that aims to connect Topeka neighbors.

To qualify, Topeka residents must receive SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, Federal Public Housing Assistance, Veterans Pension Benefit Program, or have an annual household income that is less than 200% of federal poverty guidelines.

Those interested in receiving a laptop, should review the eligibility requirements before calling 785-368-3098 to apply.

The funding for the laptops was made possible thanks to a $250,000 grant the city received from the Kansas Health Foundation.

The city’s desktop computer program for those who are 60 years or older is still active. To learn more about that program, visit the city’s website.
