Donate Your Jeans to the Homeless

Donate a pair of jeans and get a discount when you buy a new pair. That’s great, but what happens to all the donated jeans? Well, you may be able to spot them on the homeless guys that are hanging around the shelter, “Mændenes Hjem”, in Copenhagen in a few months time. The project was launched yesterday by Buksecompagniet and ther webshop andPants, and over the next two months their goal is the reach a total of 400 pairs that will be donated on November 30th.

The TV is keeping score of the number of jeans collected.

Mændenes Hjem is a temporary lodging hostel for homeless men including drugs addicts, alcoholics and mentally ill located in the rough part of Vesterbro in Copenhagen. Every month their hand out around 100 pairs of pants, so the donation should be able to see them through the winter.
