Local gym collects used clothing items

Snap Fitness, 1800 E. 23rd St., is collecting gently used coats, blankets and warm clothing through Dec. 23.

Everyone who donates will weigh in and record his or her body weight. All items collected will also be weighed. Donors will weigh in again on Feb. 5. The gym’s goal is to match the total amount of clothes donated to the total weight loss of the donors.

Items can be placed in the designated box in the gym. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday; and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Membership is not required and there is no charge to participate.
