Hundreds of people came out, many arrived early, to have their personal documents shredded in the big mobile shredding trucks. In exchange for the service that helps protect your identity, participants brought non-perishable goods for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia.

We collected more than 3500 pounds of food for needy families.
Volunteers from Jackson-Hewitt tax services and the Foodbank helped out.

I was at the College Park Shopping Center in Virginia Beach, while Eric Harryman was at the Willow Oaks Shopping Center in Hampton.
The weather was threatening with dark clouds looming most of the time and a few downpours, but it didn’t keep people away.

We hope to see you at our next Shred-it event in July. Keep checking out wavy.com for exact locations, date and time.

In return, most people brought non-perishable food for the Peninsula Foodbank.   We really met some generous people.  One man stuck around and helped people lift their  items on the Shred-It trucks.  One woman brought an SUV full of cases of canned and boxed goods.  She told us she and her family are fortunate they don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from and they want to help others.  Still others donated money to the foodbank.


The weather could’ve been better- but hey, at least it wasn’t snow!! Thanks again to all who stopped by. Stay tuned to WAVY & Fox 43 tv- and online- to find out when the next Shred-It event will be.
