United Community Bank (UCB) in Lincoln is hosting a Community Shred Day event on Saturday, November 13, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at 2201 Woodlawn Road. The event is free to all community members.

A mobile shred truck will be onsite on the south side of the Illini Building to provide safe, secure document shredding. Residents may drive through and drop off their documents or stay and watch the shred truck safely destroy them. Volunteers will be on hand to assist visitors with unloading and preparation for the shred truck.

“It’s a great opportunity to shred any old documents you no longer need that contain sensitive personal and/or financial information,” states Patrick Gettleman, Vice President, Lending with UCB. “In addition to offering this free identity protection and recycling service to the community, we will also be collecting donations for the Lincoln/Logan Food Pantry.”

In conjunction with Community Shred Day, UCB will be accepting monetary donations and non- perishable food items to help support the Lincoln/ Logan Food Pantry. Event visitors are encouraged to bring items such as canned meat, vegetables, soups, and beans. Other needed items include pasta, rice, peanut butter, applesauce, crackers, and whole-grain cereals.

Reasonable limits do apply to the shred event so that as many as possible may be served. If residents or small businesses have more than five copy paper-sized boxes, they are asked to contact the Bank prior to the event to discuss available options. The event will take place, rain or shine, and health and safety measures will be followed. Residents are asked to only bring paper items to shred. Papers in folders, with paper clips, staples, etc. will shred with the papers and do not need to be removed. Please contact UCB at 217-735-5400 with any questions.
