'Incredibly Grateful': IMA Shrewsbury Extends Thanks For Water & Food Drive Donations

SHREWSBURY, NJ — IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care has extended its thanks to patients, staff, and community members who contributed to this year's Bottled Water & Granola Bar Drive in support of local first responders.

Thanks to the generosity of IMA patients and community members, hundreds of bottles of water and granola bars were collected and distributed to local fire and EMS departments.

The Shrewsbury Fire Department was one of the many beneficiaries of the drive.

"Every day, our first responders dedicate themselves to serving others, often under challenging conditions," said Brendan J. Mulholland, MD, President of IMA.

"This donation drive is a small way for us to show our appreciation for their commitment and sacrifice," he continued. "We are incredibly grateful to our patients and community members who helped make this year's drive such a success."

The annual collection effort reflects IMA’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Monmouth County community it serves, officials said.

The donated items will help provide quick, convenient nourishment and hydration to first responders during emergencies and community events.

“The Middletown Township Fire Department would like to thank IMA for the donation of water and snacks," said Daniel P. Kelly, Middletown Fire Chief. "These supplies will be placed on the fire apparatus for the members to utilize after fighting a fire or standbys during extreme hot weather."

"Hydration is important for firefighters even when we think we don’t need it," he continued. "One of the many fire service mottos is 'Everyone goes home.' Hydration will aid us in accomplishing this."

"Thank you again to the organization and all the patients that donated to our cause.”
