From March 1 to 31, Curves of Issaquah will collect non-perishable items for food banks in the local area. The goal, according to Norma Stephens, owner of Curves of Issaquah, 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 Stephens. “We want to show our community just how powerful the generosity of our members can be.”

According to Stephens, non-members who donate a bag of groceries between March 8 and 20 can join Curves for free. Curves will waive the Service Fee to join. Stephens says that as part of this effort, Curves of Issaquah 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 Issaquah and Eastside area will come together and participate in this initiative,” added Stephens. “Even if you are 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.”
