Lakewood Ranch Town Hall

🎉This year, Municipal Clerks Week is celebrating its 57th anniversary.🎉

Did you know? One of local government’s oldest positions is the Municipal Clerk.

Municipal Clerks Week recognizes the vital and appreciated services performed by Municipal/District and Deputy Clerks in serving the changing needs of their communities.

We’re still smiling about this one 😊

A huge THANK YOU to Lakewood Ranch IDA & Stewardship District Staff, Lakewood Ranch Community Activities, the Food Bank of Manatee, and ShredMedic, who came out and helped make this year’s event such a success. Because of your support, we didn’t just have a great turnout - we "shredded" our previous records!

• Food Collected: 948 lbs → 1,005 lbs → 1,335 lbs

FREE COMMUNITY SHRED DAY & FOOD BANK OF MANATEE FOOD DRIVE
Join Lakewood Ranch Inter-District Authority (IDA), Stewardship District (SD), Community Activities (LWRCA), and The Food Bank of Manatee, a PLUS program of Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee, on Saturday, April 25th, for a free Community Shred Day and Food Drive. As many as 9 million Americans have their identity stolen every year, and shredding documents helps prevent thieves from accessing personal information. Take advantage of this free shredding service to dispose of documents typically used by identity thieves to commit fraud — old bills and receipts, junk mail, account statements, and unused pre-approved credit offers.
Lakewood Ranch IDA, SD, and LWRCA are supporting The Food Bank of Manatee and asking attendees to bring a non-perishable (non-glass) food item to help feed our neighbors in need (cash donations are also accepted). As the only food bank based in Manatee County, The Food Bank of Manatee needs your food and monetary donations!
*Please Note* Personal documents only. No commercial/business documents will be accepted for shredding. Please limit shredding to two boxes maximum, no larger than 24” x 12” x 12”.
WHEN: Saturday, April 25, 2026
