What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Refurbished Computer Program

CFTB receives donations of no-longer needed computers. Volunteers refurbish them and set up software that makes them accessible to persons who have vision impairments. These are shipped throughout the US to those who cannot afford a new computer and the very expensive software that makes them accessible.
