Here are the details:
Shred & Donate is open to the public, to benefit the community Signal Financial serves. Families with children are welcome. We will have refreshments, a face painter, and prizes as well!
Signal Financial FCU members are encouraged to participate, but membership is not required. The Kensington branch will be open during the event.
