"In today's electronic world there are so many choices – iPhones, Android phones, tablets and computers," longtime volunteer Obie Weeks said. "It doesn't matter what type of phone or computer you have, we have a class to cover it and help seniors become comfortable with their electronic devices."

In addition to computer classes, the Foundation for Senior Care hosts a weekly open lab Fridays called "Fix it Friday," for walk-in help for seniors with their software or hardware problems. There is no charge for this service, but donations are encouraged.
