Moses Lake TCC to participate in free backpack giveaway

MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake branch of mobile phone retailer TCC will participate in the nationwide 11th Annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. according to TCC’s website. Mariah Bernier, a sales representative at TCC Moses Lake, said that this year's giveaway is her first, which is why she took it upon herself to work with her superiors on organizing the event. "I think it’s important," said Bernier. "I know that sometimes my parents would struggle with school supplies and things, so I definitely think that it's good for those people who might be less fortunate that they can at least provide their kids the baseline of what they need to be successful in school.
