Follow on Google News | Goodwill and Florida Community Bank Partner for Secure Shred DayGoodwill's Secure Shred is partnering with Florida Community Bank in Fort Myers to help people safeguard their identities, help the community, and protect the environment, by hosting a "Shred Day" at Florida Community Bank's Caloosa Shores branch.
By: Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida What: When: Where: Goodwill’s Secure Document Destruction service will be on hand to accept personal papers and other sensitive documents—which will be shredded for FREE. Customers will be limited to one bag or box for free shredding (additional documents will be accepted for $5.00 per bag or box). Sensitive documents will be collected in locked bins for transportation back to Goodwill’s secure shredding facility in North Fort Myers. Patrons will be provided with a certificate of destruction once their materials are shredded. This will be Goodwill’s seventh community “Shred Day” in Southwest Florida, and fourth time partnering with Florida Community Bank. In all, Goodwill has collected more than 13,000 pounds of confidential documents for destruction at its shredding events. According to the Federal Trade Commission, more than 9 million Americans are victims of identity theft or identity fraud every year.. The majority of ID theft occurs when the thief has direct contact with the victim’s personal information, through a stolen or lost wallet, rifling through a mailbox or trashcan, or even lifting documents from inside a home or business. Secure destruction of these personal documents is the first step in identity protection. Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida created its document destruction business in 2007 in order to provide jobs for local individuals with severe disabilities while also providing a valuable service to the community. Goodwill provides document destruction to numerous Southwest Florida businesses and agencies, including UBS Financial, LYNX Services, the United Way, the City of Cape Coral, and the City of Fort Myers.
