Shred Event scheduled for Saturday, April 26

Protecting yourself against identity theft is important, and a great way to do that is by securely shredding your personal documents. Here’s a chance to do just that.

Join me for a Free Shredding Event from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 26 at Ben Franklin Middle School, located at 6403 Mill Creek Rd., Levittown. Please note, this is a different location than our previous events.

To participate, please RSVP by calling me at (267) 580-2660 or emailing RepDavis@pahouse.net. There’s a limit of five boxes or bags per person, so please plan accordingly.

Also, if you’d like to help support local food pantries, feel free to bring non-perishable food items for donation.

I look forward to seeing you there and helping you protect your personal information.
