🗑️ Why Shredding Matters

Old bank statements, medical records, tax documents, and other sensitive papers can be a goldmine for scammers if they fall into the wrong hands. By shredding these documents, you’re taking a proactive step to:

• Reduce your risk of identity theft
• Protect your financial and personal information
• Declutter your home in a safe, secure way
  

This event isn’t just about shredding paper — it’s about building a safer community. By coming together, neighbors can share tips, resources, and a sense of solidarity in the fight against fraud.
