Behind the Backpack

We know that sending kids to school each year is expensive, and backpacks can be one of the priciest supplies! According to the National Retail Federation, families spend about $875* on school supplies. With one in six school aged children living in poverty, TCC wants to help alleviate some of the stress of back-to-school time and help your kids show up to their first day prepared, confident, and ready to do great things.

Plus, find out our Stuff the Bus winner! During the month of June, five school finalists around the country competed to win a bus full of school supplies. The winning school will be announced during our School Rocks Backpack Giveaway.

    Good Evening

    My name is John Ricottone. I am a newly elected president of community education council of district 20 located in Brooklyn, New York.

    I was trying to see if your company would like to collaborate with the community education council district 20 with the book bag and school supply give back.

    On August 13 of 2025 the community education council of district 20 will vote on the location date and time for the school bag and supply give back .

    The give back will be some time in late august or September 1, 2025 .

    Hopefully , you can assist and if you wanted to watch on zoom for the vote of the location you can do so.

    You can also send your employees as well and help assist.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Pissed if. Went to our local Verizon for the back pack for kids and supplies after I called the main offices to ensure this was true 2 days ago. Went today as stated July 27, 2025 at 1 pm but was told they did customer appreciation 2 weeks ago. Waste gas and time with the kids. Struggling so that’s why we went but you wasted my money on gas getting there and back which again couldn’t afford. So upset right know but I may Bradcast this to ensure people don’t use version on every face book site and groups. Let me know if that’s what you want me to do

    1. Tori Adachi says:

      Hi Patricia, we’d like to look into this. Could you please tell us what location you went to?
