ETX teens collect more than 300 jeans for their homeless peers

Posted: Updated:
HENDERSON, TX (KLTV) -

A group of East Texas high school girls is wrapping up their campaign to collect jeans for homeless teenagers. 

We first told you about Teens for Jeans at the beginning of February. 

Several Henderson High School girls started the campaign to collect gently used jeans for their homeless peers. 

On Sunday the girls had collected 325 pairs of jeans. Their goal was to collect 500 pairs but they are still proud of their campaign and all of the people who helped out.

Those jeans will be distributed to homeless shelters in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
