GREENSBORO, N.C., Jan. 21, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.(NYSE:SKT) is pleased to announce that it is joining Aéropostale stores and DoSomething.org in a campaign to provide jeans for homeless teens across America and raise awareness for teen homelessness.
Now through Sunday, February 13, people are being encouraged to drop off a pair of slightly worn jeans, of any brand, to any Aéropostale store. The jeans collected at Aéropostale stores are being donated to local shelters in each community. For a complete list of the 26 Tanger Outlet Center locations where Aéropostale stores can be found, please visit www.tangeroutlet.com/brands.
"We are proud to support our national retail partner Aéropostale in this wonderful program to provide clothing for less fortunate teens in our communities," said Steven B. Tanger, President and CEO of Tanger Outlet Centers, Inc. "We hope the thousands of jeans collected at Aéropostale stores at Tanger Outlet Centers will make life better for many deserving young people."
In addition to dropping off jeans at Aéropostale stores, teens are being encouraged to coordinate collection drives at their schools. Those schools that gather more than 500 pairs of jeans, receive a banner for their school and recognition on the Teens for Jeans web site.
