It’s a beautiful morning to unload some things you no longer need and benefit great community organizations who can use them.
We're excited to have @PCsforPeople at this Saturday's Un-Dumpster Day collecting working and nonworking computers at Southeast High School, 3500 E Meyer Blvd, KCMO, from 8 a.m. to noon. Clear that clutter! More info at https://t.co/NqNAr1lLHV.

How will we know we’ve reached #digitalequity? Let’s go into the community and ask them what success looks like to them. #BrigadeCongress

#UnDumpsterDay was a huge success! An estimated 250 cars came with clothing, computers, furniture, games and other household items. We really appreciate South-Broadland Presbyterian Church hosting us! Thanks to @fox4kc for helping us spread the word! #upcycling #payitforward

Listen in to hear from our founder and learn more about how you can use Re.Use.Full to help more people and pets in our community with your still-good stuff.
Excited to announce I’ll be on @kcur tomorrow (9/21) about 9:30 a.m. to talk about @beReUseFull. I recommend listening any time but would be especially honored if you tuned in to this episode of @KCURUpToDate. Thanks, @stevekraske, for inviting me!

Last year we all had to do a lot of things differently in government. Part of that is a new addition to government; Chatbots. Great work @codeforkc!

Before COVID-19, a few leading governments were dabbling in chatbot technology, using AI to address common resident queries. In 2021, it’s hard to imagine government doing the people’s business...
