The Problem

Among youth, the most needed item is denim and jeans. Therefore, through Aeropostale, we held a jeans drive throughout our school and were able to collect more than 40 pairs of jeans to donate to the less fortunate.

Plan of Action

First, we started a discussion in our student council about the drive through Aeropostale. Everyone seemed extremely excited, so we began advertising. We created flyers, posters, signed up through the corporation and put out collection boxes. Within days, the boxes began to overflow with the generous donations from the members within our community. While some only donated one pairs, others donated in excess of ten pairs of jeans. On the last day of the drive, we collected all of the donations and brought them to our local Aeropostale store.
