Spare Change News - is a nonprofit newspaper that publishes 8,000 copies every other week. Our papers are sold for 25 cents to (primarily) homeless and formerly homeless individuals who then sell the paper for $1 and keep the profit. We are currently running on completely outdated computers that struggle with running every program, and make design (and even web research) into a far lengthier and less reliable process than acceptable for even basic production. Faster computers would allow us to get much more done per day (week, month), as well as possessing the capability to install and run updated Adobe design software.

Seeking G4 or G5 Macs. If you can help, please email Kathy Ferguson or phone 617-497-1595 at the Homeless Empowerment Project

We do this through workshops and events that explore the reality of our current global situation while looking for sustainable solutions from both indigenous cultures and modern advancements. We introduce the concept of simple living to those in a fast paced world, and we support indigenous cultures through grants and programming to support those who are already living lightly on the land. We are a small nonprofit with 4 part time staff. Currently we are short one Mac and have to schedule around one another as a result.
