Gastonia District UMC Raises Funds for UMAR!
	UMAR would like to thank the wonderful Gastonia District UMC Committee for raising more than $4000 in a recent yard sale to benefit the agency.
Their amazing effort shows how a group of committed volunteers can play a powerful role in supporting and advocating on behalf of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Thank you for supporting UMAR!
