Food drive to benefit Island Harvest

The Island Now

30-Minute Fitness, a private one-on-one health club located at 552 Middle Neck Road in Great Neck, is conducting its 17th annual food drive from Monday, March 24 through Friday, April 11. Collected food will be donated to Island Harvest, which helps needy families throughout Long Island by sponsoring food pantries, soup kitchens, and delivery of groceries for those who are homebound.

Donations of nonperishable food, such as rice, pasta, canned fruit and vegetables, tuna, applesauce, baby food and formula, cereal, etc. should be brought to 30-Minute Fitness anytime Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Please make sure expiration dates have been checked on all items before bringing donations to the health club. Expired food should be thrown out.)

Say Sandy and Jane Levy, owners of 30-Minute Fitness, “When Spring arrives, most food pantries are running on empty, because most food drives are conducted from Thanksgiving through Christmas. And the current economic climate doesn’t help the situation. We know we are making a difference by supplying food when the food banks are running low. Last year we collected an enormous amount of food thanks to the generosity of our members and the Great Neck community. We hope to do even better this year.”

30-Minute Fitness, Inc. runs on a by-appointment-only basis, combining fully supervised one-on-one personal training with strength training and packaging its full-body workouts into just 30 minutes. It is one of the few remaining health clubs offering a free trial workout before joining. The club’s members always work out one-on-one with an experienced trainer who supervises for the full half-hour, providing motivation, safety, and results. There is never a monthly membership fee at 30-Minute Fitness, which also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and where everyone is always entitled to one free trial workout.
