Curves Hampstead and Curves Manchester are encouraging women in the North Carroll 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 will collect non-perishable items and monetary donations for food banks in the local area. The goal, according to Lisa Singleton of Curves of Hampstead, 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 Singleton. "We want to show our community just how powerful the generosity of our members can be."

According to Singleton, individuals who donate a bag of groceries or make a minimum donation of $30 between March 8 and 20 can join Curves for free. Curves will waive the cost to join.

Singleton says that as part of this effort, Curves of Hampstead and Manchester 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 Hampstead and Manchester area will come together and participate in this initiative," added Singleton. "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."
