Curves, 30 Minute Fitness and Weight Loss Center in Somerville will be joining the Curves International Inc. “Curves Food Drive” to benefit local food banks.

Last year, the Curves food drive collected over 4,000 tons of food for local communities.

Anyone joining Curves the month of March may bring a bag of groceries and have the normal service fee waived. Anyone may drop off non-perishable food items at Curves Monday through Friday during business hours during the month of March.

The Curves Food Drive promotion allows us, the franchisees, to help more women reach their fitness goals, while giving back to the community simultaneously,” Connie Lindsey, owner of the Somerville club said.

With over 8,000 locations worldwide, Curves is the world’s largest fitness franchise and the fastest growing franchise in history. Currently, Curves helps over four million women realize their fitness and weight loss goals every day.

The food will be donated to Fayette Cares in Somerville. Fayette Cares will distribute the food to help the needy people in Fayette County.
