A fraternity chapter in Birmingham is looking to distribute coats and socks to the city’s homeless on Martin Luther King Jr. Day as freezing temperatures are expected Monday.

“Dr. King’s call to serve inspires us to meet people where they are and address their most immediate needs,” Art Franklin, Basileus of the Alpha Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., said in a news release. “On a day dedicated to his memory, we aim to provide not just warmth but also hope and compassion to those facing life’s toughest challenges.”

The Alpha Phi chapter, based in Birmingham, will collect coats and warm socks from its members. On Monday, the chapter will then distribute the goods to those experiencing homelessness in Linn Park.

Distribution is set to start at noon on Monday, Jan. 20, according to a news release from the chapter.

Birmingham is under an “extreme cold warning” ahead of frigid temperatures that are expected in most of the state. A Weather Channel forecast calls for a high of 32 degrees Fahrenheit Monday, and a low of 19 degrees.

Snow is expected in central and south Alabama on Tuesday.

The Alpha Phi chapter of Omega Psi Phi was chartered in Birmingham in 1924 and is one of the largest chapters in the fraternity, according to the news release. Omega Psi Phi was founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C., in 1911.
