JEANS FOR TEENS

"Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do unto Me!"   


Did you know that 1 out of every 3 homeless people are under the age of 18 and there are approximately
 1.6 million young people under 18 who experience homelessness each year?  

DO SOMETHING, a great organization that empowers young people to make a difference, invited young people across the country to give their used jeans.  At Benedictine Academy, the Globe Changers and African American Club said "YES" and asked their classmates to clean-out their drawers.  Each day, we listen with the ear of our hearts and take Compassionate Action to alleviate the cries of the poor.  It is our privilege and our social responsibility to help others in need.
