-Parents and students in Neillsville will soon benefit from a national backpack giveaway campaign.A Wireless, the nation’s 2nd largest Verizon Premium Retailer, announced that they are partnering with Culture of Good to donate 100,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children through the annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway. Since 2013, Culture of Good has donated more than 360,000 backpacks filled with supplies to ensure children are well prepared for the start of the school year.
The A Wireless store in Neillsville at 212 W. 7th Street is participating. Each store participating will donate 125 backpacks. Any leftover backpacks will be donated to local schools. A Wireless hopes that this program will help alleviate the average cost of $97.74 on school supplies that the average person with children spends each school year on these supplies. With over 16 million children in the U.S. living in poverty, A Wireless hopes to help give some relief to some of these families.
