IMA Urgent Care Along The Bayshore Starts Thanksgiving Food Drive

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — With the beginning of November, IMA Urgent Care Centers and primary 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 their six primary care offices located in Middletown, Shrewsbury and Red Bank. Each IMA Urgent Care and Primary Care location will have a collection station set up for the community, patients and employees to drop off non-perishable food for the Thanksgiving holiday.

“Each year we host this food drive we are amazed at the generosity that our patients and the public exhibit,” said Dr. Brendan Mulholland. “Helping others in the community is the best way to connect and we are proud to partner with Middletown Helps Its Own to help bring a joyful Thanksgiving to those in need.”

Food collections will take place from November 1 through November 20. Food donations can be dropped off at any IMA Urgent Care Center, which are open daily, or at the IMA primary care offices. 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 and cheese.

IMA Urgent Care Centers were created over 20 years ago by local doctors as an alternative to the hospital emergency room for minor emergencies as well as acute and chronic illnesses. IMA Urgent Care Centers accept most forms of insurance and IMA patients and non-IMA patients alike. IMA Urgent Care Centers are open seven days a week for walk-in appointments. IMA operates seven primary care offices located in Shrewsbury, Middletown and Hazlet.
