The Verizon-Cellular Plus Backpack to School program is supported by contributions from employees, customers, and vendor partners
Verizon-Cellular Plus in Clark County will be giving away free backpacks filled with school supplies on Saturday (July 27) from 10 a.m. to noon.
“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. An internal employee donation drive was organized, and stores are also accepting donations from customers to assist as many families as possible. All donations stay within the local community, ensuring that each backpack donated at a specific location is given to a child in that area.
The backpack and school supplies are completely free; no purchase is necessary to qualify. A child must be present with an adult to claim their free backpack. Supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Cellular Plus has 2 locations in Clark County:
In Vancouver at 12914 NE Hwy 99, across from Safeway in the Salmon Creek neighborhood;
And in Washougal at 3307 Evergreen Way, next to Pizza Hut at the Safeway Plaza.
Cellular Plus is a Verizon authorized retailer, founded in 1998, and headquartered in Billings, MT.
