Local TCC stores will be distributing free backpacks to Tucson students July 22 as part of a national giveaway.

Each store, which is part of Round Room, an authorized Verizon wireless retailer, will have 220 backpacks to distribute from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The backpacks will be filled with school supplies, such as pencils, paper, folders and glue. They will be distrubuted on a first-come, first-serve basis, and one backpack will be given to each child present.
