HELENA — Verizon Cellular Plus, located at 1302 Prospect Ave., is again giving away free backpacks filled with school supplies.
Families can pick up the backpacks on Saturday, July 27 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
“We are delighted to support our local community by providing students with new backpacks and essential school supplies,” said President Adam Kimmet. “We hope this event eases some financial challenges for families. It's incredibly rewarding to see children leave the store sporting a new backpack, and ready to start the school year with confidence.”
The Verizon-Cellular Plus Backpack to School program is supported by contributions from employees, customers, and vendor partners.
