Curves of Valley Springs and Angels Camp Hosts Food Drive to Benefit Local Families Club offers freebies for both existing and potential members who participate
Valley Springs, CA (Grassroots Newswire) March 1, 2010 – Curves of Valley Springs is encouraging women in the area to show their philanthropic strength by participating in the annual Curves Food Drive. And, even though donating food to families in need is its own reward, the club is offering compelling incentives for both existing and potential members who participate. From March 1 to 31, Curves of Valley Springs will collect non-perishable items and monetary donations for local area food bank – Community Resource. The goal, according to Colleen O'Connell of Curves of Valley Springs, is for the community to come ....
together to help families in need. "At the core of our business is the message that women are stronger when they rally together, and that is the point we hope to bring home with our food drive," said O'Connell. "We want to show our community just how powerful the generosity of our members can be."
According to O'Connell, members who donate a bag of groceries or make a minimum donation of $30 during the month of March will receive a reusable Curves grocery bag for free. Non-members who do likewise between March 8 and 31 can join Curves for free. Curves will waive the cost to join.
O'Connell says that as part of this effort, Curves of Valley Springs will be participating in a company-wide contest for the most food drive donations collected by Curves locations across the nation. Winners will receive one of several cash prizes to be donated to their local food bank. Each year, Curves locations collectively donate millions of pounds of food to feed the hungry.
"We hope women in the Valley Springs area will come together and participate in this initiative," added O'Connell. "Even if you’re not thinking about joining a gym, you can still drop off your donations. There are so many families – right here in our own community – who need our help."
