Helping Students Start the School Year Strong

Wausau, WI – AbbyBank is proud to partner with Grace United Church of Christ to support the Fill A Backpack Fill A Need campaign, an initiative coordinated by the Workplace Volunteer Council - United Way of Marathon County. This community effort ensures children across Marathon County head back to school prepared and confident with the supplies they need to succeed.

For families facing financial challenges, the cost of school supplies can be overwhelming. The Fill A Backpack Fill A Need program helps relieve that burden by providing backpacks filled with school supply materials, giving students a strong start to the school year.

AbbyBank’s Wausau and Weston locations, together with Grace United Church of Christ, served as a collection site for donations. Thanks to the generosity of individuals, families, and local businesses, hundreds of students will be better equipped to learn, grow, and thrive this school year.
