Food drive for food bank

LEWISTON — Curves International is holding its 15th annual Food Drive, “Feed the Need,” and challenges Curves’ club members in the U.S. and Canada to meet a goal of 100,000 donations during the two week period of March 11-23.

Each club is asking its members to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash to support their local community food bank. In addition, Curves clubs will waive the joining fee for new members who bring in a bag of non-perishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank during the two week period. When combined donations from all Curves clubs reach the goal of 100,000 donations, Curves International will donate 10 percent of March profits to “Blessings in a Backpack,” a nonprofit organization that ensures that impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year.
