The events were available for members and non-members to bring personal documents for SecurShred to securely dispose of. The events brought over 250 community members and 633 bags and boxes of personal documents, resulting in over 12,000 pounds of shredded documents. Kim Brown, VP of Branch Operations, stated, “Identity theft is an ongoing issue and makes shredding sensitive documents, old checkbooks, tax returns and junk mail an important way for community members to protect their privacy.” Brown added, “We host these shred days at our various branch locations to offer peace of mind to community members that their sensitive documents are handled and disposed of properly.” The Credit Union has regularly offered shred days for the past three years. Vermont Federal Credit Union is a $900 million-plus full-service, not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution that has served Vermonters for more than 70 years, with eight locations currently serving over 50,000 members. Members are part of a cooperative, meaning they share ownership in the Credit Union and elect a volunteer board of directors. Vermont Federal Credit Union provides membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in all of Vermont. Vermont Federal Credit Union is committed to supporting its communities and helping Vermonters prosper, no matter where they may be on life’s journey. [Learn more about Vermont Federal Credit Union.](https://www.vermontfederal.org/)  ![SecurShred](https://www.vermontfederal.org/hs-fs/hubfs/images/news/SecurShred.png?width=600&name=SecurShred.png) Download a PDF version of this press release [here](https://www.vermontfederal.org/hubfs/press-releases/vfcu-shreds-community-documents.pdf). **Contact:** *Lori Crowley* *V.P. of Marketing* *Vermont Federal Credit Union* *80 Midas Drive* *South Burlington, VT 05403* *(802) 658-0225 x 1312* *lcrowley@vermontfederal.org* [Vermont Federal Credit Union](https://www.vermontfederal.org/news/author/vermont-federal-credit-union) Please ensure Javascript is enabled for purposes of [website accessibility](https://userway.org) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org/", "@type" : "WebSite", "potentialAction" : { "@type" : "SearchAction", "query-input" : "required name=search_term_string", "target" : "{search_term_string}" }, "url" : "https://www.vermontfederal.org/news" } ```
