A local business needs your supportβ€”and soon. Teez 'N' More opened in Land O' Lakes recently, but it's not your ordinary shirt shop. All of the profits from the store go to BIKERSCAP, a nonprofit organization that provides computers to students in need.

BIKERSCAPβ€”Building Intellect, Knowledge, Education, Resources and Schooling with a Computer Acquisition Programβ€” is a biker-run charity, according to its website. The mission: "providing much-needed, complete home computer systemsΒ through recycling older used systems to disadvantaged students."

'We are trying not to close the shop," Reaster said. The organization just doesn't have the funds to keep it operating if customers don't start coming in, he said.

In addition to specialty shirts, Teez 'N' More also carries motorcycle accessories. You also can drop off old computers for recycling at the store.
