IMA Primary Care and Urgent Care Centers will be hosting their annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to benefit Middletown Helps Its Own. Collections will take place at all three IMA Urgent Care Centers in Hazlet, Shrewsbury and Port Monmouth and Chapel Hill Family Medicine, Family Practice of Middletown and Red Bank Medical. Each IMA location will have a collection station set up for the community, patients and employees to drop off non-perishable food for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Middletown Helps Its Own has been a part of the Middletown, NJ community since 1964 and is 100% volunteer driven. They provide food, clothing and emergency services to Middletown residents in need. This year they will deliver over 600 Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets in the area.
“IMA has been in the community for over 20 years and we like to give back to the community that has supported us throughout the years.” states Dr. Roger Thompson. “Middletown Helps Its Own is a community based organization that has been around since 1964. So it only makes sense that IMA would partner with such a great organization.”
Food collections will take place from November 1st through November 14th. Food donations can be dropped off at any IMA Urgent Care Center which are open daily. The best donations are canned gravy, stuffing, canned cranberry, boxed cake mixes, icing, boxed muffin or biscuit mix, canned vegetables, mashed potato mixes, boxed rice, canned fruit and macaroni & cheese.
