Albany Internal Medicine (AIM) is making a positive impact in Southwest Georgia with its new Office-Wide Food Drive. This initiative aims to alleviate food insecurity in the community, recognizing that access to nutritious food is essential for good health.
Food insecurity can worsen chronic health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. AIM is inviting both employees and patients to contribute to this vital cause by donating non-expired, unopened canned and boxed foods. Items like rice, pasta, soup, and peanut butter are all welcome.
This food drive is ongoing until February 2026, and donation boxes are set up in the front lobby of Albany Internal Medicine at 2402 Osler Court. Every item collected will help provide nourishment and support to families in need, making a real difference in their lives.
According to a recent USDA report, nearly 10% of households in the U.S. struggle with food insecurity. Local initiatives like AIM’s food drive are crucial in addressing this issue, especially during tough economic times.
For those in need, AIM encourages contacting them at kbaumgartel@albanyim.com for assistance. Programs like these not only provide food but also foster a sense of community and support in challenging times.
