County Commissioners will proclaim Tuesday “Bright House Networks-Net Literacy Day” in Hendricks County, recognizing the dedication of Bright House Networks and partner Net Literacy of Indiana to the local community through their current initiative that will provide computers at no cost to a host of area non-profits that need them. The recognition will occur during the county commissioners’ regularly scheduled weekly meeting that begins at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Hendricks County Government Center, located at 355 S. Washington St. in Danville.

On Feb. 26, Bright House and Net Literacy donated the final round of computers to Sheltering Wings, an emergency housing facility in Danville, Ind., for women and children suffering from domestic abuse (photo at left). Over the course of the last few weeks, nearly 50 computers were donated to seven Hendricks County non-profits that combined provide programs, services and computer access to more than 8,000 county residents. These Hendricks County non-profits in addition to Sheltering Wings have received personal computer donations from Bright House and Net Literacy to either implement or enhance a computer lab within their respective organizations: Hendricks County Senior Services, Sycamore Services, Mental Health Association, Susie’s Place, Head Start and Daycare Nursery Center.

Net Literacy of Indiana is an Indiana-based non-profit incorporated in 2003 by middle school students that has repurposed thousands of computers and established community computer labs in dozens of Indiana communities to provide computer access to more than 100,000 Hoosiers throughout the state.
