Right now, for the month of March, the Anytime Fitness Fremont location has a big barrel that needs filling with donations of non-perishable foods. The donations go to FamilyWorks, which distributes food (and information on services) to people in our community experiencing hunger.
According to the FamilyWorks website, the items they need most are:
- Canned Foods: fruits, vegetables, soups, spaghetti sauce
- High Protein: Canned tuna/chicken, beef stew, peanut butter, canned nuts, canned or dry beans, shelf stable milk
- Dried Foods: rice, pasta, cereal, instant oatmeal, fruit, crackers, cooking herbs and spices
- Children’s Favorites: baby food, infant formula (Enfamil preferred), mac & cheese, canned/boxed juices
In March, drop-off your donations at Anytime Fitness during staff hours – Mon – Thu from 9a – 7p, Fri Noon – 5p, Sat & Sun 11a – 3p – or schedule an appointment to see the gym (and leave a donation) at 206-545-4348.
Another great way to help FamilyWorks is by attending the upcoming Games For Good! event on Monday, March 19th at the Lagunitas Taproom in Ballard. From 5:30p – 7:30p, enjoy live music by The Wiretappers, pizza, games, trivia and all kinds of fun – plus, of course, beer! Cover is $5 per person (includes 2 slices of pizza) with all beer purchase proceeds going to FamilyWorks. The venue is kid and dog friendly, so bring the whole family!!
Finally, over 2018, the donation bin at Anytime will be traveling around Fremont, and your business (or your favorite business to visit) can be a host! Contact aussie@box2219.temp.domains to find out which months are available, and get the FamilyWorks food bank donation bin delivered to your reception area or shop floor!
Please consider helping our neighbors in need, by supporting FamilyWorks, one of our local food banks!
