Donate Your Spare Jeans TODAY!

Did you know that 1 in 3 homeless people in the US are under the age of 18? If you’ve got a pair of used jeans to spare, you can take part in Teens for Jeans, a program sponsored by Aeropostale to put your jeans in the hands of homeless teens who need them.

Sunday, February 10, is the last day to donate. Just drop off your gently-worn jeans at any Aeropostale 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!

Find out more about the campaign by watching this PSA starring Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen:

If you’re interested in learning more about the plight of homeless teens in the US, a great place to start is by reading the book by Beatrice Sparks. This powerful book tells the story of a 15-year-old runaway through transcripts of his therapy sessions.
