Identity theft is no fun. Shaved Ice, on the other hand, is fun! And helping out your community is good for your neighbors and your soul. There’s a free event coming up that combines all those things, and we have those details for you below!

Identity Theft Is Bigger Than You Realize

Washington is a big state for Identity Theft. According to the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, the Evergreen State gets between 12 to 13 thousand reported cases each year.

I’ve been the victim of identity theft 3 times in my life. Luckily, I was able to catch the charges on my bank account and put an end to the fraud before it got out of hand. Since then, I’ve been even more careful about all of my personal identification and payment documents.

When I hear of a free shred event, I take notice and take action, and thankfully, there’s another one coming up later this month.
