Prevail Bank is organizing a Free Community Shred Day on April 17, from 9 AM to noon, at its Wisconsin Rapids branch located at 1601 Lincoln Street. This initiative provides the community with an opportunity to securely dispose of confidential documents. According to the bank, "Shredding your documents protects your personal information from fraud." In support of local education, financial stability, and health initiatives, "Prevail Bank and Bank-A-Count will each donate $1 (up to $1,000) to the United Way of South Wood & Adams County" for every pound of paper shredded.

- Owen, on May 7 from 10 AM to 2 PM, benefitting Friends of the Old School Inc.

- Marshfield, on May 8 from 10 AM to 2 PM, supporting the Children’s Miracle Network.
