The members of Credit Union ONE turned out for a free shred day held at the Macomb Township Branch on Saturday October 19th, 2019. Over three and a half tons of paper was collected and shredded on site during the three hours, and the members generously donated $293.00 dollars to Beaumont Children’s in Royal Oak.
Credit Union ONE hosts three to four shred day events a year, which continue to be a very popular event.
