Knox Ricksen Team Members Help Build a House for Habitat For Humanity
On June 9, 2007, the team members of Knox Ricksen joined new homeowners and Habitat for Humanity in helping to build homes for low income families in Oakland.
From hanging flashing to erecting frames to using power saws, Knox Ricksen attorneys, staff, clients, friends and family labored, sweat, laughed and became covered in dust while working alongside grateful and happy new homeowners. We arrived with a sense of teamwork and left with a greater appreciation for the community in which we live and work.
Habitat for Humanity East Bay was formed in 1988 as an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Their mission is to create successful homeownership opportunities for families with limited incomes by building sustainable housing and revitalizing neighborhoods. To date, Habitat for Humanity East Bay has completed the construction of 180 single-family homes in Alameda County and Contra Costa counties, and funded the construction of over 400 additional habitat homes in countries overseas.

This was the first of many construction days for Knox Ricksen and we look forward to working more with clients, friends and families.
