Carmichael, CA (MPG) – Letting go of a pile of old stuff never felt so good. On a cool morning on April 24, more than thirty cars and trucks lined up to offload old records and files to be shredded at the annual Shred Day, sponsored by the Society of St. Vincent DePaul in Carmichael.

“People were lined up more than an hour ahead of time to get their shredding done. It has been busy all morning” said Kristine Berault, leading the charge for the fundraiser. There were many volunteers on hand to help people unload their vehicles and keep the line moving. People even waited around to watch as their documents were being destroyed by the on-site shred truck.

The event was held to raise funds for their campaign “Help Us Help the Poor”. This event was the most successful of all the Shred Days to date. The parking lot where the shredding was done was at 5057 Cottage Way.

Society of St. Vincent DePaul of Carmichael is planning additional Shred Days and may not wait for another year to hold the next one. If you would like to know more contact them at 916-481-6352.
