Lake Forest “Curves” Hosts Food Drive
To Benefit A Safe Place

Curves 30 Minute Fitness and Weight Loss Center in Lake Forest will join the “Food For Friends” 2004 food drive sponsored by Curves International in March by directing donated food staples and household items to A Safe Place/ Lake County Crisis Center.

Last year the initiative to benefit local food banks resulted in a collection of more than 4,250,000 pounds for local communities across the nation.

Jean Blackwell, owner of Curves in Lake Forest, explains that anyone joining Curves the week of March 8 will have their normal service fee waived if they bring in a bag of groceries. Anyone may drop off non-perishable food items Monday through Saturday during business hours.

"The Food For Friends promotion allows us, the franchisees, to help more women reach their fitness goals, while giving back to the community simultaneously,” Blackwell said.

With almost 7,000 locations, Curves is the world’s largest fitness franchise and the fastest growing franchise in history. Currently, Curves helps more than two million women realize their fitness and weight loss goals every day.

The Lake Forest Curves franchise is located at 950 N. Western Ave., #F, Lake Forest. Call 847.234.4920 for more information.
