Comp-U-Dopt® was founded by Jonathan Osha, with the belief that every child deserves equal access to education and opportunity. Since the life cycle of a computer in a corporate environment is less than three years, these lightly used tools can serve a young learner. We also have grown our service offerings to include hands-on, project-based after school programming.

Our programs serve to eliminate limited access to computers, facilitate growth in technical and digital literacy skills and support the future of youth in our communities.

 

Feed My Starving Children is a nonprofit organization that provides nutritionally compete meals formulated specifically for malnourished children. Donations to FMSC help purchase the meal ingredients and volunteers hand-pack the meals. Meals are donated to FMSC partners around the world where kids are fed and lives saved. SIM members recently met at the FMSC facility in Schaumburg and spent 90 minutes packing meals destined for malnourished children. Please join us for a future give back event.
