Event Update: Community Shred Day Success!
Thank you for your incredible support! We’re excited to announce that our recent Day of Shredding was a tremendous success. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we shredded over 11,000 lbs of paper, ensuring sensitive documents were disposed of safely and responsibly.
We deeply appreciate everyone who participated and contributed to this event. Your donations and support make a significant difference in helping The Casa Grande Youth Commission continue their mission.
Our next Shred Day is scheduled for Fall 2025. The specific date will be announced soon. We encourage you to check back for updates as we get closer to the event. Thank you once again for your commitment to the cause and for making this event a success!
