Leominster Credit Union’s recent Shred-a-Thon raised $815 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.  Many members and non-members stopped by LCU’s headquarters to have their sensitive documents shred on site by the secure shredding service, Northeast Data Shredding,

"This was the most successful and highest attended event thus far," commented John O’Brien, President and CEO. "LCU’s semi-annual Shred-A-Thons are a great community event.  They assist in preventing identity theft by securely shredding confidential documents. The shred is then recycled.  The generous donations collected from shred participants went to a great organization, Habitat for Humanity."
