Food drive brings in tons for the needy

Curves, the world’s largest fitness franchiser, has announced that the 2008 Curves Food Drive brought in 2,150 pounds in Spring City, which will benefit Spring City’s Food Bank.
Worldwide, Curves members donated almost 3,000 tons of food.
This was Curves International’s 10th Annual Food Drive and Curves of Spring City’s fourth time to participate.
During this drive, women had the opportunity to donate a bag of groceries for a reduced Curves membership fee.
Thousands of women took 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 20 new memberships at the Spring City Curves. Overall, the Food Drive accounted for almost 75,000 new Curves memberships.
“Curves and our members are delighted to help our community,” said Lynn Hayes and Jennifer Bower, Spring City 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 Spring City community promotes the spirit of giving.”
