🧾📄☀️🚙 We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect morning for our annual community-wide free shredding event in Pella! We unloaded sensitive documents from 1️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ cars for secure shredding. We also gave away 90 Vander Ploeg Bakery donuts to make everyone’s Saturday a little happier. 😊
Thanks to generous free-will donations, we ended up with a very nice collection of food and toiletry items that will be dropped off at the Pella Community Food Shelf next week.
