It is an opportunity to offer affordable quality items to shoppers and also to extend the church outreach in our community and to those visiting our community. RUMC has been a part of the borough for over 140 years, and through events like the Labor Day Yard Sale, we offer friendship, service, and a helping hand to our neighbors and visitors."
