Pin Oak Donates Computers to Local Students in Need Partnering With Comp-U-Dopt
10.09.2020
Pin Oak Corpus Christi, LLC (“Pin Oak”) announced, through its Diversity and Equality initiative, its collaboration with Comp-U-Dopt, a non-profit organization committed to giving underprivileged families the tools to help narrow the technical divide within communities across the nation. Pin Oak is donating an inventory of technology and resources to Comp-U-Dopt and its platform to supply local families with the much-needed tools to bridge the digital divide, including equal access and opportunity for childhood education needed for remote learning during these challenging times.
“As a business that represents individuals from diverse economic backgrounds, we are excited to be able to lead this first ever initiative in the Corpus Christi region with Comp-U-Dopt bridging the resource gaps needed for our community’s families, especially children deeply affected by the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Corey Leonard, CEO of Pin Oak Corpus Christi, LLC.
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically shifted and magnified the resources needed in the education landscape and pushed school districts to scramble to implement online and distance learning opportunities as campuses remain closed. Yet, a significant portion of the student population still are not able to access online tools simply because they do not have a computer or tablet at home. Mr. Leonard added, “With many school districts starting the academic year off online, Pin Oak is proud to be in a position to make an immediate impact for four hundred families and provide an educational platform for those students without computers.”
