2nd Annual Post Tax Season Shredding Event

Join Concierge Financial Organization for a free post tax season document shredding event on Saturday, April 18. Concierge Financial Organization is partnering with the Louise Graham Regeneration Center to securely destroy your documents. Bring a donation of canned goods for use by the St. Petersburg Free Clinic in order to take advantage of this service.

The Louise Graham Regeneration Center provides document shredding services to many organizations across our region, including the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department and the IRS.  In addition to the services offered, the center’s primary mission is to provide opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities to maximize their independence through the provision of quality life skills training, paid employment and participation in the community at large.

This is not only an opportunity to have your documents shredded but to help support the Louise Graham Regeneration Center and St. Petersburg Free Clinic.
