Events of Wednesday, May 6, 2026
American 1 Community Shred Day. 4 PM to 6 PM. Home Office, 201 S. Perrine Street, Jackson. Identity theft is something everyone should be educated about, and it’s important to understand the steps to take to prevent it from happening. At American 1, we offer Community Shred Days for free for individuals and small businesses. This is an opportunity to safely and securely destroy personal documents that include important and private information you would never want anyone to have. American 1 uses reputable shred companies to bring a shredding truck on-site to Shred Day where your documents will be shredded on-site before you leave. We make sure that all shredded materials are disposed of in a proper manner and the companies are able to recycle in a secure process to ensure no personal information could ever be obtained. american1cu.org/shred-days
