Roper.

“We’ve worked very hard with our partners to promote the program and distribute computers to areas of the County and to people with the most need, but now is the time we are asking partners to help make their clients aware of the program before we run out,” said Mitsuko R. Herrera, Montgomery Connects Program Director. “We encourage non-profit organizations and neighbors to pass the word along and to help students, working adults, and older residents sign up.”

Non-profits may reach out to Montgomery Connects at [email protected] to reserve blocks of appointments on specific dates for large enrollment events.
