Annual Food Drive Provides Thanksgiving Meals To Local Families

RED BANK, NJ — For the eighth year, IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care hosted a successful Thanksgiving Food Drive to benefit Lunch Break and Middletown Helps Its Own.

Both locally run not-for-profits, these organizations provide Thanksgiving meals to over 1,000 Monmouth County residents, officials said.

The collected donations from the drive were distributed to Middletown Helps Its Own and Lunch Break, who, in turn, created Thanksgiving Food Baskets/Boxes for local families in need.

Each food package included essential items for a complete Thanksgiving meal, such as turkey, vegetables, side dishes like mashed potatoes, stuffing and dessert.

"We are incredibly grateful for the immense support from our community," said Brendan J. Mulholland, MD, President of IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care.

"The outpouring of kindness ensures that families across our area will have nutritious meals and hope this Thanksgiving,” Mulholland continued. “It's a true testament to what we can achieve when we work together.”
