• That’s the goal of the 5th Annual Lose For Good campaign. As members and subscribers lose weight, Weight Watchers donates up to one million dollars to hunger fighting organizations.

• Since Lose For Good started in 2008, Weight Watchers members in the Pittsburgh area, and across the country, have donated over 5.6 million pounds of food to local food pantries.

• This year, Weight Watchers will hold a special one-day food drive on September 15th to benefit local food banks and to help fight hunger right here in our own community. There will be a very special one day joining offer, prizes, refreshments, recipes and more
