Rent to Own Industry donates 28 computers in St. Louis This Rent to Own Video brought to you by APRO's RTOHQ.org

Congressman William Lacy Clay Friday joined national, state and local rent-to own industry representatives in launching the "Computers for Kidz" program -- an initiative to help bridge the digital divide in urban areas.

On behalf of four area charter schools, Rep. Clay, accepted a total of 28 computers at an afternoon press conference at the Imagine Middle High School College Prep on North Jefferson Avenue in downtown St. Louis.

"It heartens me to be in partnership with APRO in a program like this that we know will have a positive effect on the young people in the St. Louis community," Clay said. "It shows me they care about the communities they serve and the plight of our young people and their future."
