Shred it. Don’t regret it.
Fraud and identity theft have become an epidemic in our communities, and to raise awareness and promote prevention, we host these FREE community service shred events for you, our members.
TEGFCU hosts these events to provide community residents and businesses with a safe and secure way to discard documents that contain confidential and personal information.
Safeguard against identity theft and fraud while removing all those financial statements, tax returns, medical bills, receipts, and any other confidential documents cluttering your home.
