Proud Moment – Support from Orange Theory

Written by Lauren Boisvert

Orange Theory Fitness is flexing its community muscles this holiday season by hosting a food drive to support the newly established food pantry at Beech Street Elementary School. Recognizing the growing need for accessible resources within the school community, the gym has taken the lead in gathering donations and spreading awareness.

In partnership with Manchester Proud, Orange Theory has made it easier than ever for members and supporters to contribute. A collection bin has been set up in the lobby of the gym, allowing for in-person donations. Additionally, an Amazon Wishlist has been created, offering a seamless way for members to order items directly for delivery to the pantry.

Nicole Cate, a dedicated Orange Theory member and Community Impact Program Manager at Southern New Hampshire University, brought in the first delivery of donations last week. Her efforts have set the tone for a strong start to the initiative.

The food drive will continue through the end of the year, providing a steady stream of support to the Beech Street Elementary community. With the ongoing generosity of Orange Theory members and Manchester residents, the new pantry is poised to become a reliable resource for families in need.

Manchester Proud extends heartfelt thanks to Orange Theory Fitness for their dedication to helping Manchester families thrive. Their commitment demonstrates the power of teamwork, both inside the gym and throughout the community.
