Weichert, Realtors® – Pillar Northwest Hosts Free Shedding Event; Collects Items for Local Charity

Volunteers from Weichert, Realtors® – Pillar Northwest are pictured preparing to shred a bin filled with documents at the company’s April 21 Shred-A-Thon event.

BELLEVUE, Wash. / May 2, 2018 – A Bellevue real estate agency recently looked more like a recycling center after the company transformed its 36th Street parking lot into a gigantic shredding area.
The company, Weichert, Realtors® – Pillar Northwest, underwent the transformation to help local residents safely discard paperwork with personal  or sensitive information as part of its April 21st Shred-A-Thon, a free event.
The Weichert® affiliate and its event partner, Guild Mortgage, also collected clothing and toiletry items, as well as financial donations, at the shred-a-thon to donate to Mary’s Place, a Seattle-based non-profit organization that assists the homeless.
Clothing, toiletry items and cash donations were collected at a April 21st document shredding event sponsored by Weichert, Realtors® – Pillar Northwest and Guild Mortgage. The items were donated to Mary’s Place, a local non-profit organization.

“It was great to see so many people who live and work in the area come out again this year to take advantage of our free document shredding day,” said Lara Dunn, the broker/owner of Weichert, Realtors® – Pillar Northwest. “We were also excited to use this event as a way to help support Mary’s Place and everything they do to help the homeless. We can’t thank the community enough for its support.”
