CHARLESTON, West Virginia -

The Union Mission in Charleston could soon be getting a large donation of socks.

The group is benefiting from a sock drive organized by the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions and Walt Disney Pictures.

The drive is inspired by the movie The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The movie will be released into theaters Aug. 15.

The sock drive will continue through Sept. 3.

Socks are needed for men, women and children.

The socks will be distributed through the Union Mission's Family Services Department to residents of Brookside Woman and Children Shelter and the Crossroads Men's Shelter. 

Organizers still need churches, youth groups and businesses to partner with them for the sock drive.

If you would like to help or donate contact Lana McVey at lana@wefeedpeopl.com.
