Curves is encouraging women in the local area to show their philanthropic strength by participating in the annual Curves Food Drive.  From March 1 to 31, Curves locations in the area will collect non-perishable items and monetary donations for food banks in the local area.  Curves members who donate a bag of groceries or make a mimimum donation of $30 during the month of March will receive a reusable Curves grocery freezer bag for free.  Non-members who do likewise between March 8 and 20 can join Curves for free, as Curves will waive the cost to join.  For more information about Curves and the Curves Food Drive, contact Cookie Carpenter of Curves of Pulaski at (540) 980--0094.
