It’s that time of year again, it’s time to “Pack the Backpacks”! Annually in August, Rich and Carol Becker, a local Mellen couple, ask the community for donations of school supplies and money. They gather the donations and purchase school supplies to fill backpacks for Pre-K thru 5th grade with all the required school supplies for students in need in the Mellen School District. Their goal is to fill at least two backpacks per grade. Leftover supplies are given to the Mellen School to have on hand for students who might need them. Empty backpacks and school supply lists are on display during the month of August in Mellen at both local financial institutions, Northern State Bank and Superior Choice Credit Union. Rich and Carol have been “Packing the Backpacks” since 2009.
