AIMM is an international humanitarian organization whose members are professional volunteers from various Seventh Day Adventist Churches in the New York and New Jersey areas.
The mission of AIMM is to show the love of Christ by ministering to the needs of individuals who are less fortunate or under-serviced in local and global communities.
The main aim of the foundation is to provide medical supplies, books, clothing, sleeping cots and health/dental services to the needy.
The medical and dental services will be dispensed through âAn Open House Clinicâ. Fillings and General medical consultation will also be done.
There will also be a missionary component where persons may visit for prayer and partake in the clothing give-aways.
