TOPEKA (KSNT) – A Topeka-area bank is holding a free document shredding event at a local shopping center this weekend.
Capitol Federal is partnering up with West Ridge Mall to hold the “Shred with CapFed” event from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 11. The event will be in the mall’s parking lot west of the Furniture Mall of Kansas entrance.
