Free
Shredding Day May 11
Visiting
Angels and Iron Mountain
are sponsoring Free Shredding Days. This normally expensive service
is free to anyone. The shredder accepts staples, folder but it does
not accept boxes. There is no weight limit. Caution: Federal and
State regulations require companies to keep tax records for 5-7
years so check with your CPA before getting rid of those kinds of
documents. Call Christina at (626) 852-3302 or email her at Christina@angelcaregiving.com.
Visiting Angels and Iron Mountain sponsored the
shredding service last April 27 at the Monrovia Community Center.
As early as 9:45 am there were people already lined up with their
documents. If you missed the event, you have one more day in May
to avail of this free service.

MPG and Santa Anita Family Service Provide Grant for 90 Year Old
Monrovian
Date of incident: February 2012
Santa Anita
Family Service (SAFS) was approached by the MPG Board of Directors
to provide assistance to a Monrovia resident in her 90s who was
facing a substantial payment due to a plumber for work rendered.
The woman was very concerned as to how she would pay off the bill
of well over $2,000 on a fixed income. The woman initially reached
out to the City of Monrovia who in turn contacted MPG. SAFS was
put in touch with the client. The client was assessed for additional
resources to complete payment of the bill. After communication with
several organizations, SAFS staff was able to coordinate coverage
of the entire bill amount. Negotiations and payments included
a senior discount payment through the "We Care Program"
through the city of Monrovia, payment through the resident's church,
and the first grant from MPG. It was truly a community effort, inititiated
by members of MPG and has aided in the establishment of the granting
process which will undoubtedly service many older Monrovians in
the years to come.
