CURVES FOOD DRIVE RAISES 1100 POUNDS

Curves, the world’s largest fitness franchisor, announced that the 2007 Curves Food Drive brought in 1100 pounds in Waynedale which will benefit Saint Therese Parish Food Bank. Around the world, Curves members donated nearly 11 million pounds of food to their local food banks.

This was Curves International’s ninth food drive and Waynedale’s 5th time to participate. Every year in March, women have the opportunity to donate a bag of groceries in lieu of paying the Curves membership fee. Hundreds of thousands of women take advantage of this opportunity to help themselves become healthier while contributing to the needs of their community’s less fortunate residents.

The Food Drive accounted for 30 new memberships at the Waynedale Curves, and added more than 166,000 new members to the Curves family worldwide.

“Curves and our members are delighted to help our community,” said Mary Stark, Waynedale’s Curves franchise owner. “The food drive is an excellent program that fits perfectly with the Curves philosophy—promoting the health of the whole woman. The opportunity for our members to give back to the Waynedale community promotes the spirit of giving.”

In the past decade, Curves franchises have collected and distributed more than 50 million pounds of food to local food banks throughout the world.
