ALBANY — Two local chapters of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity are bringing some holiday light to the community Saturday in their fourth annual “Christmas Uplift.”

The holiday season isn’t easy for southwest Georgians facing higher grocery prices and the end of COVID-19 relief. So the brothers of the ETA Omicron and Chi Epsilon chapters of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. are hosting a drive to provide free food and clothing for the Albany area.

Those who could use the holiday help can head to the Sand Trap Lounge Parking Lot at 1412 Radium Springs Road Saturday between noon and 2 p.m.
