At ReStores, symbols of the doors Carter opened for others: "We had to come over here and pay our respects"

President Jimmy Carter wasn't a co-founder of Habitat for Humanity, but his decades of service with the organization, including the Carter Work Project, elevated the cause immeasurably.

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — President Jimmy Carter once said, "We're all the same folks. We want the same for our children - a better life, one that's filled with excitement and challenge and hope and self-respect, a better prospect for the future."

He walked the walk through Habitat for Humanity.

Neighbors impacted by Carter may sign commemorative doors at ReStores in Omaha and Council Bluffs. The doors symbolize 'the many doors of opportunity that President Carter helped make possible.'

They'll be out through Saturday - after which, messages will be shared with The Carter Center.
