As you guys keep shedding pounds & getting fit, I’m sure you’re eager to get rid of your old jeans! This is a great way to give back to the community and treat yourself to a reward for your hard work as well. Go to Aeropostale with a pair of old jeans and they will be donated to homeless teens in your area. Here are just a few teenage homelessness stats I got from DoSomething.org. I wasn’t aware of them and found it pretty horribly shocking: 

• 1 out of every 3 homeless people are under the age of 18
• 1.6 - 1.7 million people under 18 will experience homelessness every year
• This year alone, it’s projected that 260 runaways and homeless youths will die of assault, illness, and suicide. 

A pair of jeans may not seem like much but think of how many teens will be helped if every one donates at least a pair of their old jeans! If you weren’t already eager to get rid of your jeans, Aeropostale will also give you 25% off a new pair of jeans for yourself so you can show off your new figure. How awesome is this?? It’s truly a win/win situation. Please spread the word and donate your jeans! :)
