BUSINESS BRIEFS: Document shredding event set Oct. 17 in Sequim . . . and other items

SEQUIM — First Federal will partner with the Sequim Food Bank for the semiannual “First Fed Shred” event at Sequim High School, 601 N. Sequim Ave., from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17.

This is an opportunity for people to safely dispose of personal documents.

There is no cost for the document shredding; instead, event sponsors urge each person who brings documents to bring a donation of food — especially peanut butter, tuna, canned soup, pasta and rice — or a cash contribution for the Sequim Food Bank.

For more information, visit www.sequimfoodbank.org or phone the food bank at 360-683-1205.
