We Florida Financial, a cooperatively owned, not-for-profit credit union, will celebrate Earth Month by hosting two Shred-a-Tree/Plant-a-Tree events benefiting One Tree Planted and partaking in the beach cleanup efforts for The 5th Annual SOS Ocean Conservation Day.
Members and locals are welcome to bring their sensitive documents to be securely shredded and disposed of by a professional shredding company. Upon completion of the shred events, the total weight of the papers shredded will be tallied. We Florida Financial will donate one dollar for every two pounds of shredded paper to One Tree Planted, a nonprofit organization focused on global reforestation, which plants one tree for every dollar donated.
