Curves of Cleveland is encouraging women in the area to show their 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 a compelling incentive for potential members who participate.

From March 1 to 31, Curves of Cleveland will collect non-perishable items for Harbor, Inc., located in Johnston County. Harbor, Inc. provides shelter for victims of domestic and sexual violence.

The goal, according to Sally Kuykendoll, owner of Curves of Cleveland, 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 Kuykendoll. “We want to show our community just how powerful the generosity of our members can be.”

According to Kuykendoll, Curves will waive the service fee to join for non-members who donate groceries during the month of March.

“We hope women in the Cleveland area will come together and participate in this initiative,” added Kuykendoll. “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.”
