Repeating a 2020 effort, the partners refurbish and donate professional-quality devices to support free tutoring for K-12 students across Southern California
COSTA MESA, CA, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Mesa Water District (Mesa Water®) and longtime partner T2 Group, a Los Angeles-based healthcare technology and IT services company, have once again come together to donate over 60 computers to School on Wheels, a nonprofit that provides free tutoring and mentoring to children whose homelessness prevents them from receiving academic stability. The donation builds on the partners’ June 2020 gift and continues a shared commitment to closing the digital divide for the region’s most vulnerable students.
The need is acute. According to School on Wheels’ 2024/2025 Impact Report, only 19 percent of children experiencing homelessness have access to a computer. The organization provides laptops, tablets, and hotspots so students can connect with volunteer tutors and keep pace with their education.
As in 2020, Mesa Water provided the gently used, professional-quality devices, while the T2 Group team donated its time and technical expertise to securely wipe, refurbish, and prepare the computers to be donated in like-new condition. The T2 team also handled prepping, boxing, and shipping the devices to School on Wheels.
“Access to technology should not depend on where a child sleeps at night,” said Kevin Torf, managing partner of T2 Group. “We were proud to support School on Wheels in 2020, and we are proud to do it again. Putting reliable computers into students’ hands is one of the most direct ways we can use our expertise to make a difference in our own community.”
“Mesa Water is honored to help expand access to technology for students experiencing homelessness,” said Marice H. DePasquale, Board President of Mesa Water. “When a child has access to a computer, they gain a connection to education, support and opportunity. Through our partnership with T2 Group, these computers can continue serving our community and help students stay engaged in school and build a brighter future.”
“For our students, a computer can be the difference between falling behind and moving forward,” said Sinéad Chilton, Chief Development & Marketing Officer, School on Wheels. “We are grateful to Mesa Water and T2 Group for their continued generosity and for helping us reach the children who need it most.”
The laptops will be distributed directly to the K-12 students School on Wheels serves across six counties throughout Southern California, supporting the one-on-one tutoring delivered by its network of trained volunteers.
