Strong Fort Erie Neighbourhoods was the very happy recipient of a cheque for $1,000 generated by the Fort Erie Branch of PenFinancial’s annual Shed Day on September 18th. On Shred Day customers can bring in documents for safe, confidential shredding at no charge, instead being invited to make a donation to the branch’s chosen organization.
