Koch Industries, Inc. is making a $1 million donation to
support relief efforts in Oklahoma following the tornadoes that devastated the cities
of Moore and Shawnee, and affected other areas of the state this week. Half of
that amount will be given to the OK Strong Disaster Relief Fund established by
Governor Mary Fallin in coordination with the United Way of Central Oklahoma.
The other half will go to the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army to help
affected families with their most urgent needs, including housing,
transportation, clothing and more. In addition, Georgia-Pacific, a Koch
company, has donated six truckloads of products from its Muskogee, Okla., Fort
Smith, Ark. and Naheola, Ala. facilities including Angel Soft® and Quilted
Northern® bath tissue, Sparkle® paper towels, Dixie® cups and plates, and Mardi
Gras® napkins. “Koch has deep roots in Oklahoma, and we want the communities of
Moore, Shawnee and others throughout the state to know we stand with them and
pray for them as they begin the difficult process of rebuilding their lives,”
said Dave Robertson, president and COO of Koch Industries, Inc.
