ST. CLOUD -- 150 families of deploying service members are getting refurbished computers to help them stay connected to their loved one.

Operation Homelink identified spouses and parents who don't have a computer and will present them with a refurbished one at the St. Cloud National Guard Armory Sunday.

Most soldiers have access to e-mail while they are deployed and it is an important communication tool to loved ones at home.

Operation Homelink is looking for retired laptop computers they can fix up and donate to future families of deployed soldiers. If you want to learn more, check out their website at www.operationhomelink.org.
