I think I see Loaves, Fishes & Computers becoming a true service provider and continuing to fill the digital gap that leaves many families unable to access basic technology and information that many people take for granted. Through the Chromebook initiative , Family education campaigns, and partnerships with companies and non-profits, I think it can be achieved."
