Amateur Radio, do you know what it is, are you curious? Amateur Radio or Ham Radio as it is often called is the use of radio frequencies and radios of course to talk with people across the street, around the world and event into space. Amateur Radio is a great hobby but is also a great service to your community. Amateur Radio Operators can belong to groups such as ARES or RACES, both of which are developed to help provide emergency communications through amateur radio in the event of a local or man-made disaster. So if you are looking for a new hobby that can also be of a service to your community look no further, contact us and let us explain how you can become a licensed amateur radio operator. As just a hobby or a service to Sumter County, Florida check us out and see if this is for you.

Mission Statement
To collectively come together in a directed effort to assist people who have a need however is unable to fulfill that need themselves. Collectively but personally is the way we strive to serve others.
Description
CAPP, Inc. - Collectively Assisting People Personally, Inc. was originally developed back in 1997, obtaining our nonprofit status in 2000 under the umbrella of Computer Acquisition and Placement Program, Inc.
Our main goal was to provide refurbished computers to local parks, recreation centers, schools and individuals. While CAPP was very successful in this endeavor, the course of years changed the donations coming in as well as the need.
In 2014, CAPP underwent a refurbishment of it's own with a new name (same acronym) and a new vision. This vision is to be a resouce point for people who have a need and is unable physically or financially to fulfill that need. We have broadened out specrum so no matter the need, i.e.: Medical equimpent; disability scooters, walkers, canes, etc. Household needs; washer, dryer, stove/oven, air conditioner, etc. Vehicle needs; minor repair, parts, etc.
We believe that collectivly is how we can serve others in obtaining the needed item(s) yet we understand the it is usually personally, one-on-one that gets the task accomplished.
We believe in paying it forward and giving back to our communities and our friends there in.
