This great annual freebie is back for Hiffers in 32 states and DC! Participating Wireless Zone locations are giving away free backpacks filled with essential school supplies on Sunday, July 26, 2026 from 1-4pm! A full list of 1,219 locations and addresses are available on their Wireless Zone locations page.
There's a new twist to this promo too – you could win $250 for more school supplies! Randomly selected attendees will get a “golden ruler keychain” in their backpack, so be sure to look carefully for this.
Last year, each backpack came with pencils, a pencil box, folders, paper, a ruler, and glue. I'm not certain what will be in this year's backpack, but you can reasonably expect similar items. 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 Wireless or 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. Last year they gave away 125,000 free backpacks, which averaged out to about 100 freebies per location, so these will go fast!!
