CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Lake County Habitat for Humanity has received a contribution from AT&T to help the organization with its new office space and with the rebuilding homes destroyed in the fires during the past two years.

Preston Dickinson, representative for AT&T, presented the $5,000 contribution to the Lake County Habitat for Humanity on Nov. 3 at the organization's new office in Clearlake.

Lake County Habitat for Humanity suffered the loss of its Lower Lake office during the Clayton fire in August.

Despite the loss, Lake County Habitat for Humanity continues to aid the community by assisting fire victims and helping those in need of repairs to their homes.

“Our mission has always been to help those in need and we are grateful to AT&T for helping us rebuild after this devastating fire,” said Richard Birk, president of Habitat for Humanity Lake County. “Our residents rely on our support and having an office to conduct our community efforts is vital to the rebuilding process for us and our Lower Lake residents.”

“AT&T is proud to support Habitat for Humanity in Lake County,” said Dickinson. “Lower Lake has suffered two devastating fires in the last two years and organizations like Habitat for Humanity need support to continue their great work in helping residents and those affected by the fires.”

Lake County Habitat for Humanity will continue efforts to aid the Lake County community, to assist fire victims and help those in need of repairs.
