Curves® supports communities nationwide with 9th annual food drive

Curves of Blairsville will be participating in the Curves Food Drive to benefit local food banks.

Last year, the Curves Food Drive collected 11 million pounds of food for local communities all over the world.

To celebrate the generosity of the community, Curves is waiving its normal service fee for any new member who brings in a bag of non-perishable groceries and joins between March 1 and March 10. Last year more than 247,940 new members joined Curves during the Food Drive.

Others wishing to donate may drop off non-perishable food items at Curves Monday through Saturday during business hours through the month of March.

"The Curves Food Drive promotion is always exciting," said Jackie Townley, owner of the Blairsville club. "We have a chance to help so many people at a time when the food banks and lowest, while we assist more women in reaching their fitness and weight loss goals. It's a winwin situation for everyone, and we're very proud to participate."

With over 10,000 location worldwide, Curves is the largest fitness franchise and the fastest growing franchise company in history. More than four million women belong to the Curves community.
