Gym holds food drive to benefit local food banks

Wednesday, 30 March 2011 07:44

During the month of April, Curves of Shelton will take part in the annual Curves Food Drive to collect non-perishable food and cash donations to benefit their local food banks.

 

Current members who make a $30 donation or an equivalent donation of food are eligible to receive a Curves reusable Food Drive grocery bag, and from April 4 to 17, Curves will waive the membership fee for new members who donate a bag of non-perishable food or make a minimum donation of $30.

In addition to the food and monetary donations that each gym collects, Curves International is offering gyms the opportunity to win cash prizes for their local food banks.

Prizes will be awarded to clubs with the most food collected, clubs who beat their 2010 donation level by the largest amount, and to two randomly selected clubs drawn from all the clubs who enter the contest.
