The 80th Anniversary of Davenport Evans has led to the donation of many items in a number of 80 throughout the year. This December, Davenport Evans Law Firm was blessed to help fill a very human need for adult guests of the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House, and children served by Lutheran Social Services. The firm donated 80 multi-packs of underwear to each of the non-profits, for 160 packages in all.
Attorneys Tom Frankman and Olivia Karns, along with assistant Martha Nelson, delivered the children’s gifts to Lutheran Social Services.
