IRS, BBB: Shred Your Sensitive Info

The Internal Revenue Service documents you prepare every year contain some of the most sensitive information you could put on paper. Once it's time to dispose of that information, tossing it into the circular file could end up disastrous if it were to land in the wrong hands.

Saturday, October 15, 2016 at the Omni Community Credit Union branch at 3141 Capital Avenue in Battle Creek, a chance to shred that sensitive information securely will only take minutes. And in exchange for Shred Day, Omni only asks for a donation of 2 non-perishable food items or a monetary donation to the Food Bank of South Central Michigan.
