Hunting for a home for wayward hardware

Thu Mar 28 17:09:44 PST 2002

Hi there Gwendolynn.  What a great name.  There's an organization which all
technoweenies and administrative professionals in general should be aware of. 
Industrial Surplus Foundation (http://isfisf.org) wants your functional junk. 
Computer software and hardware, office supplies, office furniture, cleaning
supplies, vehicles, etc.

All of it gets sold at extremely reduced prices, usually 10% of current market
value, to a ton of various nonprofit and community related organizations.  They
occasionally sell a couple items at market value just to pay their own
electricity bill and rent and such; it's purely run by unpaid volunteers,
including the founders.  It's in the East Bay, in Pleasanton, hidden behind
Club Sport and the Hyatt.

Virtually no mainstream computer equipment is too obsolete.  Their clientele
are usually computer novices but are willing to do a lot with a little.

If you have some hours, you can contact them about their volunteer structure at
their sites in Pleasanton and Hayward.  At the least they take volunteers every
Saturday to fix up all the computers, and then other days per month too. 
They're great people -- true professionals.
