The Volunteers
The North Texas PC Users Group (NTPCUG) is a volunteer organization dedicated to the advancement of education, development, and advancement of PC Users in the greater Dallas Area. As part of their mission, NTPCUG has formed a long-term relationship with the TCVC. They provide the volunteers that staff the TCVC Refurbishing Center.
The Center is open Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. When work load is heavy, Saturday hours are sometimes needed.
Every Tuesday and Thursday a group of 10 - 15 volunteers meet to refurbish the computers donated to TCVC. The services provided include:
- Pick up of donated computers
- Security cleansing of hardware
- Configuration of hardware and software
- Reliability testing
- Packing and shipping of systems
The NTPCUG is responsible for the collection and refurbishing over 4100 computers for the visually challenged.
