Donate jeans for the “Teens for Jeans” campaign
Have some old jeans lying around in your closet? Drop them off at the Aéropostale store in the Dimond Center and your jeans will go to homeless youth around the nation as part of DoSomething.org’s “Teens for Jeans” campaign.
This year, Fairbanks Youth Advocates have been selected as a “Teens for Jeans” recipient so you know your jeans are going to a local cause!
Not only are you helping your community, but you’ll receive an Aéropostale coupon for every pair of jeans you donate. Participating teens are also eligible for a $4000 scholarship and local schools could win a $10,000 grant.
