Freedom Credit Union is hosting free 2026 Shred Days at four local locations in April and May. Open to members and the community, these events provide a safe way to dispose of sensitive paperwork that should never be thrown in the trash.
“With the rising risk of identity theft, protecting personal information is more important than ever,” said Freedom Credit Union President Glenn Welch. “Shred Days give our members and neighbors peace of mind, knowing their documents are securely destroyed and kept out of the hands of scammers and thieves.”
