DWK Pitches In

Feb 14, 2017 | Legal Developments and News

Dannis Woliver Kelley stands behind the school districts and communities affected by the Oroville Dam emergency. Several school districts in the area have been closed and over 180,000 people were forced to evacuate after officials found erosion at the emergency spillway for the Oroville Dam caused by recent storms. To help those disrupted by this calamity, DWK has made a major donation to the North Valley Community Foundation’s Oroville Evacuation Fund to provide supplies and services to the people displaced. The North Valley Community Foundation is collecting donations to aid the families in the Oroville area and DWK is proud to support their efforts. Here’s hoping that the situation resolves quickly so kids can get out of shelters and back to their desks!
