FitWorx to Hold Food Drive for The Greater Boston Food Bank

FitWorx, the "non-gym" solution for a healthy lifestyle and weight loss, will hold their first annual Holiday Food Drive at their club locations in Easton, Pembroke, West Roxbury and Weymouth, MA. The drive will run from November 5 to December 5, 2016. The public is encouraged to participate.

FitWorx is collecting canned goods and other shelf stable items such as spaghetti, peanut butter, cereal, rice, granola bars and more in a food drive for the Greater Boston Food Bank, which serves many of the local food pantries across Eastern Massachusetts.

According to Feeding America, one in eight people struggles with hunger in Massachusetts.

"Food insecurity continues to be a growing issue in our community and affects more families than many of us realize," explained Rick Langella, founder of FitWorx. "Our organization is focused on healthy lifestyle, and nutrition plays a major role. It is imperative that we help our neighbors who are struggling to put food on the table. We ask our members and the community to make a donation to our food drive for the Greater Boston Food Bank."

FitWorx' goal is to collect a total of 400 pounds of food. FitWorx is encouraging their members, staff and the community help fill the donation boxes located at the front desk of each of their locations.
