Local Gym Collecting Food Items

Recognizing that the need for donations is greater than ever at local food banks across the nation, Curves of Jefferson Township kicked off the 2012 Curves Food Drive on March 1 with a challenge to meet and exceed last year's donations.

Curves J-Town, is asking its members, community, local groups and businesses to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash throughout the month of March to support our local community food bank. In addition, Curves J-Town will waive the joining fee for new members who bring in a bag of non-perishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank from March 12 – 25. 

The public may drop off food to Curves J-Town and receive a Curves J-Town reusable grocery bag.  Additional food drop-off will be at Postnet, next door to Curves. 

"Curves of Jefferson Township is committed to supporting the health and well-being of our members, so the food drive is a natural extension of that commitment to the whole community," said Curves owner Deborah Dominicci. "Many families are struggling with basic expenses and need some help to make ends meet. Our food drive gives our members and our community a way to reach out and support our neighbors." 

With a theme of "Good for your body and your soul," this year's drive encourages Curves members to feel doubly good about themselves as they make time to exercise for good health and take time to help others in the community with a donation of nutritious food.

Curves J-Town may also qualify to win cash prizes for their local food banks. Curves International will award cash prizes to the clubs that collect the most food, the clubs that show the greatest increase in donations over the 2011 food drive, and to two additional clubs randomly selected from all the clubs who enter the contest.  Help us help win in so many ways for our town.
