Tax time is here. How to shred sensitive documents for free

Tax time is upon us -- and it's a great reminder to keep sensitive information secure. Happening this weekend, you can shred important papers safely and securely. And you can do it for free -- thanks to comerica bank and the houston food bank. April 15, 8am - 4pm. Comerica Mangum Banking Center, 2201 Mangum Road, Houston. This event also will help shred hunger. The Houston Food Bank will be on-site to collect monetary donations (cash, credit card and check), as well as nonperishable food items. The timing of Shred Day Houston on April 15 is critical for two reasons. (1) With the tax deadline a few days after the event, it is a good opportunity to safely discard sensitive paper documents that are no longer needed, (2) The food donations help the Houston Food Bank fill its pantries just before summer-one of the hungriest times for young Houstonians unable to get free meal assistance at school because of summer vacation. Since 2013, Shred Day Houston has securely destroyed and recycled more than 920,000 pounds of paper and provided 313,000 meals for area residents facing hunger.
