AT&T and Compudopt provided Goodwill Southeast Georgia and Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom 100 refurbished laptops today to distribute to Savannah residents and veterans.  

The computers, funded by an AT&T investment, were given to Goodwill Southeast Georgia and Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom to distribute to residents and veterans to support skills training and employment opportunities. 

“Creating access to career pathways starts with ensuring people have the tools they need to participate in today’s workforce. These laptops will help individuals and veterans build digital skills, engage in workforce training, and pursue employment opportunities that can strengthen their futures,” said Jason Marshall, President & CEO, Goodwill Southeast Georgia. “We appreciate AT&T’s investment in our community and its support in expanding access to meaningful career opportunities.”

“At Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom, we are committed to helping veterans and their families navigate the transition from military service to new opportunities in civilian life,” said Lynnetta Smith, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom. “Access to technology can help open doors to education, entrepreneurship and long-term economic independence. We are proud to collaborate with Goodwill Southeast Georgia and AT&T to support veterans and their families as they build their next chapter.”

“Goodwill Southeast Georgia and Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom continue to do important work in Savannah, helping residents and veterans connect with resources and opportunities they need to thrive,” said Savannah Mayor Van R. Johnson, II. “AT&T’s donation of laptops is an important part of that effort, providing more people access to the digital tools that can support learning, job readiness and future success. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding opportunity across our community and we appreciate AT&T’s continued investment in Savannah.”

This effort is part of AT&T’s initiative to help address the digital divide through internet accessibility, affordability and safe adoption. AT&T is committing $5 billion to help 25 million people get and stay connected to high-speed internet by 2030.
