Eight years ago, Dwayne R. Spence Funeral
Home in Canal Winchester had its first annual
Community Shred Day as a way of giving back to
the community that has supported them for nearly
50 years.
Along with document shredding, each year
Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home partners with
the Canal Winchester Food Pantry who takes food
and monetary donations, the Lions Club who collects
used eyeglasses, the St. Vincent de Paul
Society who accepts clothing and household
items, and TDR LLC who accepts used electronics.
This is truly a community service day.
Community Shred Day has grown each year,
starting out with about 225 vehicles dropping off
recyclable paper and other reusable items in the
first year to nearly 650 vehicles in 2017. Since the
beginning Community Shred Day, Dwayne R.
Spence Funeral Home has been fortunate to have
the continued service of Boy Scouts Troop 256.
for its adult pickleball league. Play begins

Community Shred Day
The Scouts and their leaders show up in force to
help unload the boxes of paper and documents
from vehicles and place them in the shredding
containers. This makes it very convenient for participants
who do not need to get out of their vehicle
or lift heavy boxes. The Scouts are able to use
their service on Community Shred Day towards
earning the “Pulp and Paper” merit badge.
Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home is pleased
that the citizens of Canal Winchester choose them
and their shred company, Royal Document
Destruction, to eliminate old and outdated paperwork.
Royal Document Destruction was chosen
to shred documents on-site because of their reputation
and their security measures in dealing with
vulnerable documentation.
Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home invites the
community to their 9th Annual Community Shred
Day event at the Canal Winchester location on
Saturday Oct. 6 from 9 a.m. -1 p.m.

Aging’s role in fighting hunger
Feeding America has declared
September “Hunger Action Month.”
The Franklin County Office on Aging
takes an active role in ensuring that older
adults in Franklin County have access to
the food assistance services they need to

their meals. Franklin County is a
service rich community that offers a myriad
of services to combat hunger and these
services are a vital resource to older adults
residing within our community. It is a priority
of the Franklin County Office on
Aging, through the Senior Options program,
to provide both the connection to and
funding for food assistance services such as
home delivered meals and nutritional supplements.
