Wireless Zone stores in Tyrone, Hollidaysburg, Philipsburg, Huntingdon, Roaring Spring and Ebensburg will be among those distributing more than 235,000 backpacks full of school supplies.

Backpacks will be distributed from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, while supplies last.

The backpacks include pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders and glue. One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

Each locations is partnering with local businesses and community organizations to plan a “Back to School Block Party” with games and food. “Our communities are looking forward to the backpack giveaway. It gives us the opportunity to come together to support the children in our community,” said John Russell, CEO of local Verizon Wireless Zone stores.
