Community Service Philosophy

We believe in being responsible and active members of our community. As we grow, we believe that our philanthropic efforts should follow suit. We donate computer consulting time, equipment, and sponsorship dollars to organizations in our community. If you would like to submit a request, feel free to contact us at communityservice@rufustech.net.
