Join us once again for our annual drive-through shredding event! Bring your old and outdated documents to our office and ShredRight will securely destroy them onsite.

• Date: Saturday, May 31, 2025
• Time: 10:00am-12:00pm CST
• Location: 7900 Xerxes Ave S.  Bloomington, MN (Parking lot off of American Boulevard – rain or shine)

We are partnering again with Foster Together MN, a local non-profit that provides resources and support to foster, kinship, and adoptive families.  Here are the ways you can support Foster Together MN at the event or on your own.

1. Stock the Shelves: Foster Together MN runs a fantastic resource center, Abundant Goods, where foster, kinship, and adoptive families can shop (free of cost) to gather essential items for youth in their care. To help keep their shelves stocked, we are collecting the following items in NEW condition:
   • • Sneakers & tennis shoes (all sizes)
     • Diapers & Wipes (unopened)
     • Socks & Underwear (infant – teen sizes)
     • Pajamas (teen sizes are most needed)
     • Blankets for Teens (new tie-blankets are accepted)
     • Hygiene Products such as tampons, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, etc. (full size only, unopened)
2. Gift Card Donations:
   • • Retail Store Gift Cards are distributed to teens who enter foster care so they can pick out their own clothing, hygiene products, and other essential items.
     • Restaurant and Coffee Gift Cards are distributed as meal support to foster, kinship, and adoptive families during times of high stress and transitions (e.g. when a child is placed in their home). This can be a delivery service gift card, such as DoorDash.
     • Family-Fun Business Gift Cards (or tickets/passes) are great for providing a day/night out to foster, kinship, and adoptive families which promotes bonding experiences.

3. Gift Basket Donations: In honor of National Foster Care Awareness Month (May), Foster Together MN are assembling gift baskets/items for families. Here are a few ideas:
   • • Game Night
     • Sports
     • Movie Night
     • Arts & Crafts
     • And much more!

4. Financial Donations: As a 100% donation funded organization, one-time and recurring donations help fuel all their programs. This includes their gatherings, educational events, and outreach efforts.
