Giving Back to the Community

The people of Wendel Rosen are an energetic and giving bunch. Firm-wide initiatives such as the annual Neighborhood Law Corps Foundation Benefit Dinner and the hands-on Rebuilding Together Oakland annual project are just two examples of the commitment to community found within the firm.

In addition, many of the firm's attorneys and other employees contribute through time and money to nonprofit organizations and community efforts in Oakland and their individual communities, sitting on board of directors and volunteering time to committees and fund raisers. Examples of these organizations include:

Rebuilding Together Oakland

Since 2005, a Wendel Rosen team of workers has pooled their skills to help restore housing through the Rebuilding Oakland Togetyher (RTO) Program. Team members worked on projects including exterior painting, yard clean-up and fence repair. For every dollar that Rebuilding Together Oakland spends, volunteers perform at least three dollars worth of work in Oakland. For more information about the organization, visit www.rebuildingtogetheroakland.org
