Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Congrats to two Hanover High students, Gabby Manupelli and JuliAna Picardi,
for bringing this program to Hanover:
For the ninth year, Aéropostale and DoSomething.org are partnering to run
the largest jeans drive in the nation. By organizing drives in their
schools and communities, teens collect gently used jeans. Each store is
paired with one or more local homeless shelter(s) to distribute the jeans
to teens in need. Over 1,000 shelters across the U.S. and Canada will be
participating! This year, the campaign will run until February 29 2016.
Why It’s Important: Between 2.3 and 3.5 million Americans experience
homelessness annually. Included in that group are more than 1.5 million
teens and children. • People entering a homeless shelter often don’t
have more than the clothes they’re wearing. In fact, the number one item
that young people request when they visit a homeless shelter is a pair of
jeans – jeans can be worn multiple times before washing and are an
important item of clothing to help everyone fit in.
Please help them to help those less fortunate. Jeans can be dropped off at
Hanover High School and the John Curtis Library. For more information
please contact Gabrielle Manupelli (gmanupelli17@hanoverstudents.org) or
JuliAna Picardi (jpicardi17@hanoverstudents.org).
