In October of 2025, the City of Goodyear’s inaugural GoodyearConnects resource fair connected residents with essential support services and highlighted nonprofit partners and organizations serving the community. Among them, Compudopt, the national nonprofit on a mission to empower communities with free computers, affordable internet, and tech education.
Dozens of community organizations, including Arizona@Work, Hope Assembly, AZ Community Impact, and WIC Arizona, gathered in the Goodyear Recreation Center to share their services with residents.
In our increasingly online world, technology access is no longer a luxury. Lack of computers is a critical part of the digital divide, the tech access gap that keeps millions of Americans disconnected from online opportunities.
“Together, we're helping bridge the digital divide by providing laptops to Goodyear families in need of a working computer,” said Jeremy Dyck, Neighborhood Services Manager for the City of Goodyear, Arizona.
Leading up to the event, Goodyear shared information about the resource fair and opportunity to receive a free computer. Interested residents were asked to sign up to be selected at random for a laptop. The only eligibility requirement? Not having a working computer of their own at home.
In all, 144 Arizona families took home a computer with which to work, learn, attend telehealth appointments, and more.
