TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Salvation Army Tucson is handing out free backpacks for kids this week.
On Aug. 13, from 9 a.m. to Noon, K-12 students can stop by at the Salvation Army Hospitality House on the corner of Speedway and Main.
Backpacks can be received in a walk-up or drive-thru format.
“We are grateful to the community for their time and generosity and for their consistent help to the children of Tucson this summer.
