KALAMAZOO -- (WKZO) The only thing visible on the lot on Fairbanks right now is a basement, but by later this year, it should be a home, one that current Green Bay Packer and former Maroon Giant Greg Jennings helped finance.

Jennings and Habitat for Humanity held a celebration during the mid-day to give Jennings and his wife a chance to hand over one of those over-sized checks for 85-thousand dollars. Greg Jennings says his wife calls most of the shots with the foundation, but he also plays a key role, he just makes the money that funds it, and he is glad to give some of it back.

Single Mom Ericka Brenner says she would have never been able to afford a home without Habitat. Its not a gift, it’s a loan that she will have to pay back, but this will make it affordable.
