Shred Day to Benefit Plainfield Food Pantry June 11, 2011

The Plainfield Food Pantry will be the benefactor of a community-wide fundraising effort to be held at Citizens First National Bank, 14429 S. Wallin Dr., on June 11, 2011 from 10 a.m. to noon. All donations received during the event will be given to the Food Pantry.

Citizens First National Bank will be hosting a Shred Day with on-site shredding of personal records. Residents are invited to bring up to two paper boxes of bills, checks, statements – even computer discs – to be “fed” to the Shred X truck which will be parked in the bank’s lot.

In addition, several other local businesses will also be on hand offering special services to help raise funds for the Food Pantry.

- Complete Care Cleaning, who provides residential and commercial cleaning and janitorial services, will detail car interiors during the event.

- Family Video is asking students to bring their report cards to the fundraiser. Students with “A”s will be allowed to enter a drawing to win one of four Family Video gift cards.

- For the younger age group, Bounce U Up will have a Bounce House set up and Citizens staff will be facepainting.

- Plan to stay for lunch with Aurelio’s Pizza. They will be serving pizza throughout the 2-hour event.

Please stop by and help support the Plainfield Interfaith Food Pantry with your donations and have a fun-filled morning with the family.
