Cricket Wireless and Salvation Army Launch 'Stuff the Pack'
Cricket Wireless Partners with the Salvation Army to Help San Diego Kids Fill Their Backpacks for the Upcoming School Year.
According to AT&T Aspire, the U.S. has exceeded an 80 percent on-time graduation rate and is on track to reach 90 percent by 2020. Cricket Wireless and the Salvation Army have partnered together to help improve education and increase the graduation rate right here in San Diego.
The newly-launched ‘Stuff the Pack’ initiative is designed to help San Diego kids with the tools they need to be successful in this upcoming school year.
As part of the initiative, The Salvation Army and San Diego-area Cricket Wireless stores invite the local community to drop off school supplies and other items, such as notebooks, pencils, paper, backpacks, binders, glue sticks, hand sanitizer and more at participating Cricket Wireless authorized retailers between July 15 and Aug. 13, 2016.
