UR Community Cares recognizes the increasing importance of technology in today’s society and the potential barriers faced by older and disabled adults in accessing and utilizing many online resources. We aim to bridge the digital divide and empower seniors to embrace technology confidently and in an inviting place for social connections. That’s why we established our first UR Community Tech Center in the Eastside Neighborhood Resource Center (153 Spruce Street, Manchester).
