State Senator Cristina Castro is partnering with State Representative Fred Crespo, KCT Credit Union and the Streamwood Park District to host a free community shred day in Streamwood on Saturday, Aug. 10.

“This event will provide a safe and convenient way for residents to not only fight clutter, but also safeguard their personal information from fraud and identity theft,” said Castro (D-Elgin). “Attendees can also use this opportunity to donate food and personal care products to the Hanover Township Food Pantry and benefit others in our community.”

Shredding trucks will be available at the Hoosier Grove Barn, located at 700 W. Irving Park Road in Streamwood, on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 9-11 a.m. or until the trucks are full. Attendees will be able to freely and securely dispose of any confidential or personal documents, such as bank statements, canceled checks, outdated medical records, paid bills, receipts and junk mail. Only paper materials will be accepted for shredding.

The event will also serve as a donation drive to collect goods for the Hanover Township Food Pantry. Items most in need include hygiene, dental and personal care products, and food donations of cooking ingredients and main dishes.
