IMA Food Drive Collects 1,000 Pounds Of Food For Middletown

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care would like to thank everyone who donated to their Thanksgiving food drive this year: All the food donated was given directly to Middletown Helps Its Own and Fulfill Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean counties.

Through the generosity of IMA’s patients, more than 1,000 pounds of food was dropped off to both charities, which will distribute Thanksgiving dinners to those in need.

Since 1964, Middletown Helps Its Own has been providing assistance to Middletown families and is 100-percent volunteer driven. Fulfill's mission is to alleviate hunger in Monmouth County and Ocean County.

“We are grateful to our patients for their generosity this year. There are so many individuals and families in need that these food donations will help out local families,” said IMA's president Dr. Roger Thompson.

This past Saturday, Nov. 20 volunteers from Middletown Helps Its Own dropped off Thanksgiving food boxes to local Middletown families. Fulfill will be hosting either in-person or take-out Thanksgiving meals at local Monmouth and Ocean County churches and community centers.

IMA Urgent Care and Primary Care has been in business in Monmouth County for more than 25 years. IMA consists of two urgent care centers and seven primary care offices. IMA is owned and operated by local physicians who live and practice in Monmouth County.
