For a list of other participating TCC stores, visit tccrocks.com/locations. Each participating TCC store will donate up to 200 backpacks. All leftover backpacks will be donated to local schools.
According to the National Retail Federation, families with school-aged children spent an average $684.79 each – a total of $27.5 billion – on school supplies in 2018 and this year is expected to increase. With more than one out of every five school-aged children in the U.S. living below the federal poverty threshold, TCC is working to alleviate the rising costs of school supplies through this annual program.
