Teens for Jeans: Mill Creek High, Hamilton Mill UMC Begin Drive

Submitted article

Mill Creek High School in Hoschton, Ga., and Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church in Dacula, Ga., are collecting jeans for Teens For Jeans, a national campaign in partnership with Aeropostale and DoSomething.org, the largest not-for-profit organization for young people and social change.

Teens for Jeans encourages young people across the country to run a jean drive in their school or community to help provide clothing for youth experiencing homelessness.

Over a million young people experience homelessness in the United States every year and one of the most requested items that young people in homeless shelters ask for is a pair of jeans.

In the past seven years, young people across the country have collected over 4.3 million pairs of jeans through Teens for Jeans. It is our hope that the young people who donate as well as the ones who receive the jeans will be blessed and impacted by the experience.

Members of the community can support Mill Creek’s or HMUMC’s drive by dropping off their gently used denim at Mill Creek High School or Hamilton Mill United Methodist’s Church’s locations from now until February 12.

• Mill Creek High School: 4400 Braselton Hwy, Hoschton, GA 30548
• Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church: 1450 Pine Road, Dacula, GA 30019
