'Spring Into Action' at the Marsh

and ICA Food Shelf will host "Spring Into Action," a community event to support the food shelf on Saturday, April 21.

For a $10 contribution to the food shelf, community members are welcome to participate in two of The Marsh’s hottest new dance classes: BodyJam– an addictive cardio fusion of the latest dance styles and the hottest new sounds, beginning at 10:30 a.m., and Jukari Fit to Flex– an exciting new flexibility class created by Reebok and Cirque du Soleil beginning at 11:30 a.m. In addition, 10 percent of the gross restaurant sales for the day will be donated to ICA.

“We are excited to bring the community together at The Marsh to support community wellness in this way," said Lori Knutson, Marsh president. "It’s hard to be well if you don’t have food on your table.”

The restaurant, showcasing locally sourced farm to table menu items, is open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Menu information is available online. The day’s complete group exercise schedule can be found here. The public is welcome to participate in any class that day for a $10 contribution to ICA, based on availability.

Minnetonka Patch will also be present at the event, handing out t-shirts and other Patch goodies. Sign up for The Marsh and Patch's email newsletters and be entered to win Marsh gift certificates.

“We depend on partners like The Marsh to help us and we love it when they come up with creative and fun ways to do so," noted ICA Executive Director Cathy Maes.

ICA serves over 800 families per month in Minnetonka, Excelsior and Mobile Food Shelves in the seven communities from Hopkins to Shorewood.
