Gap launches its newest community-driven denim initiative.
MANILA, Philippines – June 20, 2017 – Gap introduces Recycle Your Blues, a denim drive campaign that invites everyone to donate any old pair of denim jeans at their nearest Gap store. Upon donation, participants receive a 40% off voucher for their next denim purchase. The campaign will launch on June 20, 2017 and run through August 31, 2017.
Shaping the world one denim at a time
Gap believes that one pair of denim jeans can do a world of good to someone in need. All donations to Recycle Your Blues will benefit Hands On Manila, a volunteering organization committed to empowering individuals to act as citizens and realize their ability to contribute to the community. Hands On Manila will not only be using the denim for donations, but also in creating a livelihood program which aims to teach the urban poor how they can recycle old jeans. Through Gap and Hands On Manila, everyone gets an opportunity to connect and become contributing members of the Filipino community by the simple act of donating their denim jeans.
