Community Involvement
Food Drive May 2011
The month of May was the Curves annual food
drive for 2011, where Curves branches all
over the world collect non-perishable food
and provide a helping hand for the local
community. The slogan “give a little, save a lot”
was used, but with open hearts our
members decided to give a lot –
more than 600kgs of food.
And a lot was saved – we quickly
realised how much need there really is, when
local schools informed us of 55 families to
provide for. And I’m sure this is just the tip of
the iceberg. You realise this when you reach a
school with a car full of groceries (2 cars were loaded to the point where
ground clearance became an issue – about 10
trolley loads) and you see the tears in the eyes
of the staff as they accept the donation with
genuine gratefulness.
So a huge THANK YOU to all our members that
made this happen. With all the food collected over the world (more than 1700kgs just between Cobble
Walk, Edgemead and Brackenfell), we made a
difference. YOU made a difference.
