IMA Again Collects Thanksgiving Food For Middletown Helps Its Own

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — This November, IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care Centers will be hosting their sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to benefit Middletown Helps Its Own and Lunch Break.

The food drive will run through next Friday, November 17.

IMA will be collecting non-perishable Thanksgiving food items such as stuffing, cranberry, boxed cake mixes, canned vegetables and gravy. IMA asks their patients to drop off food at boxes they set up at any of their 11 locations throughout Monmouth County.

Since 1964, Middletown Helps Its Own has been aiding Middletown families and is 100-percent volunteer driven. Middletown Helps Its Own provides food and emergency assistance to Middletown residents. Each year, the organization delivers 600 food baskets to their Middletown neighbors.

Lunch Break freely provides food, clothing, life skills and fellowship to those in need in Monmouth County and beyond.

“There are so many individuals and families that need these food donations," said Dr. Roger Thompson, IMA president. "A small donation can impact so many local families through these organizations."

IMA asks that you drop off Thanksgiving food at any one of IMA’s two urgent care locations or nine primary care locations in Monmouth County.

For the sixth year, IMA has hosted their Thanksgiving Food Drive as an effort to help fight food insecurity in Monmouth County. Each of the charities chosen provides food and other assistance to Monmouth County residents.

IMA is owned and operated by local physicians who live and practice in Monmouth County.
