New Trail Cycling & Strength Hosts Food Drive to Support Local Non-Profit

Contributed by New Trail Cycling

New Trail Cycling & Strength, a locally owned, independent fitness studio, is dedicated to supporting the Reston community. The studio, owned by Reston resident and mother of three, Liz Kamp, is committed to making a difference. Through her involvement in her children's schools in the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) system, Kamp became aware of the significant number of students who rely on meals provided by the schools and local non-profits.

"Through my volunteer work at my kids' schools, I discovered the alarming number of students who depend on food from FCPS and local non-profits,” Kemp said. “It's crucial to support organizations like Food for Neighbors, which works tirelessly to ensure students and their families have food. Without these organizations, many students would be uncertain about where their next meal will come from."

In response, New Trail is hosting a food and donation drive throughout October to support Food for Neighbors, a non-profit dedicated to providing meals for students who face hunger after school, on weekends, and during school breaks. Community members are encouraged to drop off grocery donations at New Trail during class hours. In addition, New Trail will donate $10 from every new customer package or membership sold in October. New customers can purchase their trial package online at www.newtrailfitness.com/pricing.

The drive will culminate in a Coffee Hour event on Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., at New Trail's studio, 1641B Washington Plaza North, Reston. Guests are invited to enjoy coffee, meet representatives from Food for Neighbors and co-sponsor The Reston Letter, and drop off donations. Those interested can also try a fitness class at 8 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. that day.
