HOLIDAY SUCCESS: MCC-Longview Recreation Center raises more than $2,000 for Harvesters

The MCC-Longivew Recreation Center successfully raised enough money to feed more than 10,000 people this past holiday weekend.

As part of the MCC-Longview Charity Boot Camp, personal trainers and staff there invited people to donate money and food online as the Rec Center and Harvesters partnered in a month-long campaign for the local food network.

With each donation to Harvesters, visitors would receive a free 45-minute cardio workout session at the Rec Center.

By the end of the end of the campaign, more than 22 people showed up Friday morning to break a sweat for charity. But even more took up the call online as organizers said they raised more than $2,000 for Harvesters.

In a letter to participants, MCC-Longview personal trainer Ryan Layman thanked everyone who helped make the event a success.

Thank you for visiting the MCC Longview Charity Workout Virtual Food Drive for Harvesters! Our drive was a huge success, collecting enough money and food to enable Harvesters to provide 10,014 meals for those in need in our community.

Thank you for your support of Harvesters and hunger relief!
