Lose for Good does good

Wednesday November 11, 2009

A few months ago I mentioned Weight Watchers' Lose for Good program, in which WW promised to donate $250,000 to hunger-relief charities for every million pounds its members and online subscribers lost between August 30 and October 17. The results are now in, and WW will be donating $1 million to Share Our Strength (which fights childhood hunger in the U.S.) and Action Against Hunger (an international humanitarian organization).

In addition, during the campaign, Weight Watchers staff organized local food drives at over 3,300 locations across the country. They collected more than two million pounds of food for local food banks. Way to go, team Weight Watchers!
