Saint Paul, Minnesota – To help the community shred their unwanted sensitive documents, City & County Credit Union hosted a Shred Day event at the Maplewood and Minnetonka Branch on Saturday, September 18, 2021. In exchange for free secure shredding, members were encouraged to donate non-perishable food and personal hygiene items for two local food pantries in our community.

225 members attended the Shred Day event to securely shred their sensitive documents. In addition, City & County Credit Union was proudly able to donate in total over 1,000 pounds of food to the ICA Food Shelf in Minnetonka and the Maplewood Salvation Army Lakewood Food Shelf with help from the generous donations from members and the community.

“We are so proud to be able to provide shredding services to our members while also helping our neighbors in need,” said Bailey Germain, Creative Marketing & Brand Manager. “We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity from our members. In true cooperative spirit, it’s when we come together as one that we can make a difference in our community.”
