Teens For Jeans Drive
Did you know, 1 in 3 homeless people in the US are under the age of 18! So, start this year by going through your closet to collect jeans for homeless teens. From January 22nd to February 10th, you can drop off your gently-worn jeans at any Aéropostale location across the US and Canada and Do Something will make sure they get donated to a local homeless shelter. Plus, you'll get a coupon for an additional 20% off a new pair of jeans!
