MIDDLETOWN, NJ — IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care thanks its patients and people who donated to their eighth annual holiday toy drive, where toys were generously donated at all the IMA sites throughout Monmouth County and will be given to local children this holiday season.

The drive ran from December 1 to December 17 at IMA’s eight primary care offices and two urgent care centers.

All the donated toys will be distributed by Monmouth County’s Toys for Tots chapter and Middletown Helps Its Own. The U.S. Marines Recruiting Center in Red Bank runs the local Toys for Tots drive, which gives toys to more than 70,000 children in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
