Deltans shredded thousands of pounds of confidential documents and raised more than $1,200 for local food banks at the annual Shred It and Forget It event at Envision Financial last month.
More than 100 residents brought in nearly 9,000 pounds of documents for shredding at the event, which was presented in partnership with the Delta Police Department and Iron Mountain.
