ELLSWORTH – Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services is pleased to announce Becky Bechel has been named the Live Better Community Service Award winner for the fourth quarter of 2022. Bechel received the award and a $100 Visa gift card on Dec. 1 for her generous work volunteering as the coordinator for Ruby’s Pantry in the Ellsworth community.

“Becky has been instrumental in coordinating Ruby’s Pantry for her church in providing a service to our community delivering food to those in need,” said Jay Nesseth in nominating Bechel. “Her dedication to bringing volunteers together to help with the distribution has been incredible. I participated in my first drive-through event and watching her and the other volunteers work together was a great experience.”

In addition to her work with Ruby’s Pantry, Bechel also coordinates the Kids Country Festival at Bethel Covenant Church, hosted around Halloween for all kids in the community. In her spare time, Bechel babysits her three grandchildren, sells Pampered Chef, and enjoys family vacations.

Congratulations, Becky, and thank you for using your talents to make a difference in our community!
