A pair of groups from the Pilot Mountain area will be joining together Saturday to host a sock drive, with all socks collected to be distributed to the homeless and those with need in the area.
Members from the Pilot Mountain VFW Auxiliary Post 9436 and Whitaker Chapel United Methodist Church will be set up in the upper section of the Cousin Gary’s Restaurant parking lot from 10 a.m. through 2 p.m., accepting new socks of all sizes as well as monetary donations. Donations will be used after the drive to purchase socks to fill any gaps or shortages for a particular size or gender. In the event of inclement weather, the drive will be moved forward one week to Feb. 27, with the time and location to remain the same.
