CHILLIWACK – Residents will have the opportunity to protect their identity by having documents professionally shredded next Saturday, while also fighting food insecurity across Chilliwack.

The city’s annual Shred-A-Thon and Food Drive will take place on December 7th between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Chilliwack Coliseum parking lot, located at 45323 Hodgins Avenue (just off Ashwell Road).

Up to ten boxes per household can be dropped off for shredding. Participants are encouraged to contribute to the Salvation Army Food Bank by making a cash donation or bringing non-perishable food items.

While donations are appreciated, they are not mandatory.

Organizers are asking plastic binding covers, metal hanging folders, and any metal objects (excluding staples and paper clips) be removed from documents before dropping them off for shredding.
