With each nail and piece of plywood, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity are building hope and an affordable foundation for families.

"It's very fulfilling for me just to be able to give back," said Geno Concepcion, who's participated in about 10 volunteer builds.

Concepcion donated his time Tuesday afternoon by helping Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia build four homes on North 40th Street in West Philly. He said part of his motivation to give back comes from former President Jimmy Carter. Carter rallied thousands of volunteers for more than 35 years to help build affordable housing after he left the White House.
