Two Albany Prop­erties Restored By Rubicon and Habitat for Humanity

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Team Rubicon teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to help restore two properties in Albany this weekend. 

Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster response organization, has 16,000 members, with more than 65 projects throughout the world. 

Beyond the Albany project, the organization is currently active in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida in response to Hurricane Matthew.

"The missions of Team Rubicon USA is to provide disaster response services to community's across the country, internationally as well," communications manager Mark DeNofio said. "What we do on a typical basis is respond to situations like Hurricane Matthew or Tornadoes, like in Oklahoma, but what we're doing here today helps us refine those skills that we need when we go into those situations." 

Team Rubicon was founded in 2010 in response to the Haiti Earthquake.
