ALBANY, GA (WALB) -  The Southwest Georgia Chapter and the Middle Flint Chapter are merging to form the Flint River chapter.

Offices in Americus and Albany will remain open, and the blended staff will include no layoffs and in some cases the addition of personnel.

The organization is actively recruiting more volunteers, especially with the threat of hurricane season.
