Community shred day April 20
GREENFIELD – Two Community Shred Days are coming up this year, hosted by GBC Bank.
An event in which people may bring their documents and papers to be shredded will be from 9 a.m. to noon April 20 and Oct. 12 at the Hancock County 4-H Fairgrounds.
In previous years, branch banks hosted smaller shred days but the popularity of the program required a larger venue, according to Greenfield Banking Company’s social media site.
