This great annual freebie is back for Hiffers in 26 states! Participating Verizon Wireless locations are giving away free backpacks filled with essential school supplies on Sunday, July 31, from 1-4pm! A full list of 1,244 locations and addresses are available on their Wireless Zone Locations page.
Each backpack comes with pencils, a pencil box, folders, paper, a ruler, and glue. Your child must be present and hopefully they're not dressed like the dapper young man in all of their ads, because that means they're 100% better dressed than me. You do not have to be a Verizon custom either.
These freebies are given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last, so I'd show up early if you really want this freebie. They're giving away 130,000 free backpacks this year, which averages out to about 100 freebies per location, so these will go fast!!
Last year there were only 13 states with participating locations. It's nice to see that number double this year!
This isn’t technically a Verizon giveaway, it’s in conjunction with Wireless Zone, which is an authorized reseller, and they do not have a completely national footprint.
So Alabama isn’t doing it?
Nothing in New Mexico, one of the neediest states?
