1 in 3 homeless people in the US are under the age of 18 and Canada's homeless population is about 300,000. The Teens for Jeans Campaign is reaching out to help young homeless people in the US and Canada by raising awareness and giving teens the opportunity to help.
It's Easy to Donate
Aeropostale has made it easy for you to bring your gently worn jeans and drop them off at any of their store locations. Aeropostale stores are located nationwide and in Canada and you can find the store nearest you here on the Store Locator Map
Aeropostale will thank you for donating your jeans with an additional 20% off on any purchase of a new pair.
There's More You Can Do
It's easy to help but get a move on and clean out your closet and bring your jeans between 1/22/08 and 2/10/08. Get your friends in on things too. Invite your MySpace, Facebook and Live Journal friends to join you in spreading the word. Bloggers, you're on!
You and a few friends can organize a neighborhood jeans drive or one in your school. You could just make it a fun day with friends bringing your jeans to the nearest store. Write up the info and add it to your school newspaper or your local newspaper's calendar of events. There's lots of ways to spread the word.
