Leominster Credit Union’s recent Shred-a-Thon raised $1,000 for Habitat for Humanity, North Central Mass.

LCU’s Shred-A-Thon is a free event open to the public.  Each year LCU partners with Habitat for Humanity, and participants may make a donation to the organization.  The event was held at LCU’s North Leominster branch where many members and non-members stopped by to have their sensitive documents shred on site by the secure shredding service, New England Security Shredders.

“This was our most successful Shred-A-Thon to date,” commented Barbara Mahoney, President and CEO.   “We were pleased to be able to hold the event this year, where due to COVID had to postpone the events last year and this past spring.  LCU’s semi-annual Shred-A-Thons are a great community event and assist in preventing identity theft, by offering a secure venue to shred confidential documents. The generous donations collected went to a great organization, Habitat for Humanity.”
