FREE COMMUNITY SHRED DAY & FOOD BANK OF MANATEE FOOD DRIVE
Join Lakewood Ranch Inter-District Authority (IDA), Stewardship District (SD), Community Activities (LWRCA), and The Food Bank of Manatee, a PLUS program of Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee, on Saturday, April 25th, for a free Community Shred Day and Food Drive. As many as 9 million Americans have their identity stolen every year, and shredding documents helps prevent thieves from accessing personal information. Take advantage of this free shredding service to dispose of documents typically used by identity thieves to commit fraud — old bills and receipts, junk mail, account statements, and unused pre-approved credit offers.
Lakewood Ranch IDA, SD, and LWRCA are supporting The Food Bank of Manatee and asking attendees to bring a non-perishable (non-glass) food item to help feed our neighbors in need (cash donations are also accepted). As the only food bank based in Manatee County, The Food Bank of Manatee needs your food and monetary donations!
*Please Note* Personal documents only. No commercial/business documents will be accepted for shredding. Please limit shredding to two boxes maximum, no larger than 24” x 12” x 12”.
WHEN: Saturday, April 25, 2026
9 am – 12 pm (noon)*
WHERE: Lakewood Ranch Town Hall
8175 Lakewood Ranch Boulevard
Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202

*The shred truck may fill to capacity before noon. Once the shred truck is full, we will no longer be able to accept any more boxes/documents. You will not be able to leave your boxes/documents at Town Hall. We ask everyone to please respect the two-box maximum.
