MCU’s Shred Fest 2025

Start Sorting… to Get Shredding

Madison Credit Union, in partnership with the Madison Fire Department Credit Union is holding our Annual Shred Fest on April 26th, at the Lincoln Elementary School’s Parking Lot from 9AM – 11AM.  

Each person can bring up to 3 brown bags/boxes of shred-able papers for a total of 50lbs.

We will again use this event to collect donations for the River Food Pantry. Last year we collected nearly $1,000 in cash, and 305 pounds of food and hygiene items for the River Food Pantry. Hopefully this year we can double those numbers! No donation is required, only encouraged.  Click here to see what foods and items The River Food Pantry needs most.
