Community document-shredding events previously hosted by First Federal now are being hosted by local food banks in Forks, Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend.

Individuals are encouraged to bring sensitive papers for shredding on site by LeMay Mobile Shredding, a professional shredding company.

There is no charge for the service. But canned food items and/or cash donations for the food banks are encouraged and appreciated.

Types of documents to bring include old tax returns, account statements or any paperwork with account or Social Security numbers or other personal information.

There is a limit of three bags or three boxes of documents per vehicle.

Be prepared to keep empty bags and boxes.

Upcoming shred dates and locations:

■ Saturday: Sequim High School parking lot, 601 N. Sequim Ave.

First Federal will continue to underwrite the cost of each event as a donation to each food bank.
