Give Jeans A Chance!

Volcom is doing a sweet program right now called “Give Jeans A Chance”. We just received our box and info about the program and it is super rad. Below is some info about this great program.

VOLCOM, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NATIONAL COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS, PREPARES TO LAUNCH JEANS RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR 2010
In 2009 more than 5,000 pairs of jeans were collected by 100 North American stores featuring Volcom product and then donated to fifty local homeless shelters across the country. This year Volcom is hoping to collect upwards of 10,000 pairs from more than 300 participating stores around the world.
In August, each of the participating retailers will set up a Denim Recycle Bin in their store where do-gooders can bring in a used pair of jeans in good, wearable condition to contribute to the drive. Anyone who donates a pair of jeans at any one of the participating stores will receive either a Give Jeans a Chance hat, sticker or button. Additionally, every participant automatically gets entered for a chance to win a year supply of Volcom Brand Jeans (VBJ), a $1,000 Volcom prize pack or one of the 50 VBJ runner up prize packages being offered.
Regarding last year’s campaign, Neil Donovan, Executive Director, National Coalition for the Homeless said, “Volcom’s Give Jeans a Chance (GJAC) is inspiring thousands to make a single donation and it’s having a huge impact in the lives of so many homeless people.”
So that fans can show their support, Volcom is offering a Give Jeans a Chance t-shirt, which will be available at most participating retailers in early August (see attached image). As part of the Volcom Give Back Series, part of the proceeds from the shirt will be donated to the National Coalition for the Homeless in support of their quest to end homelessness.
