MCU’s Shred Fest 2026

Spring cleaning? Don’t forget the paper trail. Bring your sensitive documents to our community shred event for a safe and secure disposal.

Madison Credit Union, in partnership with the Madison Fire Department Credit Union is holding our Annual Shred Fest on May 2nd, 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 $500 in cash, and 348 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.
