Community Bank To Host ShredFest, Warm Clothing Drive

COOPERSTOWN—Community Bank will hold a community-wide ShredFest and Warm Clothing Drive event at its Cooperstown branch on Saturday, October 28 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The event offers a dual opportunity. Attendees can take advantage of free shredding services, allowing them to securely dispose of sensitive personal documents, financial statements, and credit card offers, safeguarding their identity.

Community Bank will also support a noteworthy cause, partnering with local non-profit organization Food vs. Fuel to host a Warm Clothing Drive. The drive aims to provide essential winter clothing to elderly community members, ensuring their comfort and warmth during the upcoming season.

“We’re excited to host this great event for the Cooperstown community,” Cooperstown Branch Manager Naomi Duncan said. “Identity theft is on the rise, so we encourage everyone to bring their old sensitive materials to our free event—and while you’re there, please consider donating any winter clothing to help keep our elderly community members warm this season.”
