Women’s fitness center welcomes food donations

Curves for Women, a Costa Mesa fitness center, will host its annual

food drive to benefit Share Our Selves next month.

The local gym -- whose motto is “no men, no mirrors” -- is encouraging

Newport-Mesa residents to drop off bags of nonperishable food during the

month of March.

Members who bring in a bag of food, exercise three times a week and

lose five pounds or five inches in the month will be awarded a “Food for

Friends” T-shirt.

Those who wish to join Curves for Women can bring in a bag of food

during the week of March 11 and get the usual registration fee waived.

Residents who are not interested in working out can still drop off a

donation.

Curves for Women is open 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3:30 to 7 p.m. Monday

through Friday at 1525 Mesa Verde Drive East, Suite 110. Information: (714) 556-6432.
