Curves supports communities nationwide with 19th annual food drive.

Curves of Pointe Claire and Beaconsfield will be participating once again in the Curves Food Drive to benefit local food banks. Last year these two clubs donated 3 tons of food to Fonds de Pannage in order to benefit the West Island community.

Last year, the Curves Food Drive collected 11 millions 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 1st 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 Theresa Murphy, the co-owner of the Pointe Claire and Beaconsfield clubs. “We have a chance to help so many people at a time when the food banks are lowest, while we assist more women in reaching their fitness and weight loss goals. It’s a win-win situation for everyone, and we’re very proud to participate.”

With over 10,000 locations 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.

The local Curves addresses: 1858 Boul. Des Sources, Pointe Claire; 275 Elm, Beaconsfield.
