COMMERCE, Calif., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 99 Cents Only
Stores today kicked off its "We Got Your Back" initiative in
Arizona, California, Nevada and Texas to support students and their families
seeking to maintain a healthy, affordable diet this school
year.
99 Cents Only Stores, with support
from partners, will supply 300,000 full-size backpacks for
99 cents each containing weekly
coupons for students to purchase goods at their local 99 Cents Only Store and a meal plan to help guide
healthy food choices. The coupons will provide for the redemption
of any one free 99 cents item weekly,
valid with a purchase of $15 or more,
until January 3, 2021. The total
potential redeemable coupon value is approximately $4.5 million. The nutritionist-approved meal plan
outlines nutritious and affordable options for breakfast, lunch and
snacks.
"The spread of COVID-19 and school closures have brought
unprecedented challenges, and families are struggling to provide
their children with healthy foods and other essential items," said
Barry Feld, CEO of 99 Cents Only Stores. "We are committed to
supporting their ability to stay healthy, especially during these
trying times. Whether you're heading back to class or continuing to
learn from home, the 99 has your back."
Families can visit 99only.com/wegotyourback to register online
for the initiative, while supplies last. Registered participants
will receive a postcard, redeemable for one backpack for
99 cents per child when presented
with student identification.
99 Cents Only Stores offers
affordable back-to-school supplies for all grades as well as
important cleaning, pantry and household items. All stores follow
the advice of public health experts and comply with all official
guidance.
