Shred-it, May 3, 2017 (full size gallery)
A beautiful spring afternoon, no more than 70 degrees under brilliant sunshine with a gentle wind.
We donated over 100 boxes with monetary donations of $560. After paying for the truck, we made $335 for St. Peter’s outreach ministries. This was the best year in 6. Andrea Pogue conceived of the project and has directed it each year.
Luther, the driver, works a route from Stafford down to Petersburg. Stafford Hospital gets emptried weekly as does Geico. Some anchor stories generate enough shreddable items to demand 3 visits a week. This is a clean industry. The shred items will go from his truck to eventually to be made into future paper products.
Thanks for those who contributed. We would like to get even wider community support.
Andrea scheduled Shred-It in conjunction with the Village Dinnner. Eunice, Cookie, Betty and Cheryl cooked an enchilada dinner with vegetables and flan cake.
