Lose Weight…Feed the Hungry…Get Healthy...."Take a Load Off"

Lose Weight…Feed the Hungry…Get Healthy



Want to feel better about yourself both physically and mentally.



Well here’s your chance



Join the “Take a Load Off” program today.



With the holidays coming we all know that we are going to eat and party a little too much.



Come January 1 we are going to be another belt hole wider or another dress size larger.



And we are all going to make that same New Year’s resolution to lose weight.



Well Where to Turn is going to give you a way to drop a few pounds and help out some of those less fortunate.



While food pantries are usually well restocked during the holidays it is the cold winter months when many of them run short.



During the coldest days of winter many just don’t have the food to meet the need.



This is where the “Take a Load Off” program comes into play.



Each person who joins the program pledges to lose a specific amount of weight.



They also donate a dollar match to the amount of weight they pledge to lose.



So if you want to lose 20 pounds you donate $20.



Where to Turn will reach out to get corporate sponsorship to match every dollar collected.



All donations are 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE.



100% of all the money collected will go towards re-stocking local food pantries and get food to those who really need it.



We will run the program quarterly so you have 3 months to meet your goal.



At the end of the quarter we will see how each of you has done and start a new class.



You lose weight, help feed the hungry and get healthy at the same time.



Our first class will begin on January 1.



It will be called “A Ton of Fun” as we will try to lose a collective 2,000 pounds and raise $4,000

I have kicked off the program with a commitment to lose 25 pounds.



Also the South Beach Civic Association has donated $100 to match the first 100 pounds



I hope you will follow suit.
