This morning, Bridgett and Stephanie (a Beyond Youth parent) traveled to the Aéropostale store in Northwoods Mall to drop off the jeans that we collected.  The grand total?  150 pairs of jeans. How awesome is that! Praise God!!!

If I hadn’t counted the jeans last night, then I wouldn’t have believed that we collected that many.  I have to say a huge thank you to everyone to donated, and an enormous praise to God for such a great turnout.

What’s also cool is that they gave us a 25% off coupon for each pair that we gave.  So, we have 150 coupons to get rid of by the last day of February.  I’ve already given some away at my job, but we’re keeping most of them to give away at our church, Life-Givers Ministries.  After Sunday, if we have a lot left over, we’ll figure out how we’ll get rid of them.

Finally, if you’d like to participate in this initiative, then the last day Aéropostale is collecting jeans is this Sunday, February 14th.
