Three Montgomery area chapters of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity joined forces to provide lunches for Jackson Hospital employees Friday. Known in Montgomery as the “Capital City Ques,” with Ques being a nickname for fraternity members, the groups wanted to show appreciation for the health care professionals as they treat COVID-19 patients.
The two graduate chapters, Sigma Phi Chapter and Omega Iota Iota Chapter, along with Alabama State University’s collegiate chapter Gamma Sigma Chapter, prepared over 1,000 meals for the hospital’s medical professionals and administrative staff. The event’s co-coordinators, fraternity members Bennie Cooks and Gregory Johnson, were pleased with the turnout and outcome.
Fraternity member Howard “Cupcake” Cooper created the community service initiative for the Capital City Ques. Since May, the group of fraternity brothers has provided pancakes on Saturday mornings to different Montgomery schools offering drive-thru breakfast to the neighborhood.
