‘Teens for Jeans’ urges teens to help provide the number one item requested by homeless youth at shelters: jeans. Throughout the campaign, people can donate their gently worn jeans at anyAéropostale or P.S. from Aéropostale store. To say thanks, Aéropostale will give an additional 25% off a new pair of jeans. All jeans donated will be distributed to local shelters throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Schools are also encouraged to participate by running a jeans drive at their school. The school that collects the most jeans will win $5,000 and new Aero jeans for every student. To date, Teens for Jeans has collected and donated over 1.5 million jeans to homeless teens. This year’s campaign runs January 16th to February 12th.
