The Problem

Help teens who don't have the money to buy jeans.

Why It's Important

Helping other kids our age is important to our club because we understand that the economy isn't at it's best right now and that it's hard for some teens to afford clothing. Donating jeans helps you to feel like you've helped others.

The Plan Of Action

We place collection bins in our school at the beginning of the school year and keep the collection going on all throughout the year to make our collection amount of jeans very large. Once we are done collecting the jeans we count them up and then drop them off at Aeropostale.

How Can Others Get Involved?

 
Local community members can bring by their unwanted jeans and donate them to our collection.
