IMA Patients Bring Happy Holidays To 275 Middletown Families

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — This holiday season, patients from Integrated Medicine Alliance donated more than $3,000 in non-perishable food, clothing and toys to Middletown Helps Its Own.

About 75 gift boxes filled with a holiday meal, new toys and clothing were delivered to local families on Saturday, Dec. 21 by Middletown Helps Its Own volunteers, local fire departments and churches. All the gifts and food were donated by patients to IMA, which is a series of nine urgent care clinics and primary care offices located throughout the Bayshore area. IMA has doctors' offices all throughout the region, from Hazlet to Shrewsbury.

Collection boxes were set up in each of IMA's nine offices this past December, so patients could drop off new toys.

“Our patients are truly the most amazing. They are generous beyond measure,” said IMA’s Dr. John Haddad.

Middletown Helps Its Own is an all-volunteer non-profit which provides holiday meals and presents as well as limited utility assistance to families who live in Middletown. Middletown Helps Its Own has been in existence since 1964.
