Round Room LLC, the nation’s largest Verizon authorized wireless retailer, is now accepting nominations to recognize veterans at more than 500 of its TCC stores across the U.S., including its store in Austin, for the company’s first-ever “Veterans Rock” campaign.

Through Oct. 27, local residents are invited to visit the Austin TCC store at 1407 First Ave. SW,  to nominate veterans to receive care packages — valued at $40 each — filled with books, puzzles, hygiene items and more. Veterans who are chosen will be notified by Nov. 3, and can pick up their care packages between Nov. 6-10, according to a news release.

Each participating TCC store is donating five care packages to veterans. Overall, 2,500 veterans will receive care packages in honor of Veterans Day on Nov. 11.
