The Body Image Coalition held their second annual Jeans Drive during National Eating Disorders Week. The Coalition placed decorated boxes throughout the Cabrini (Penn.) College campus, where students could drop off their unwanted jeans.

"By organizing the Jeans Drive, [Andrea] Sussel and the rest of the BIC hoped to improve the self-esteem issues of college students by having them get rid of pairs of jeans that might just be sitting in the closet."

One of the main goals of the drive is to encourage students to appreciate their bodies, rather than wishing they fit into a smaller size jean. All jeans collected during the drive are donated to Laurel House, a domestic violence shelter in Norristown. Pa. Source: The Loquitur (college newspaper for Cabrini College)
