We’re excited to share that UMC has established a new not-for-profit subsidiary, Connexion Communities, expanding our mission and impact beyond New Jersey while remaining deeply committed to the residents and teams who make our communities so special.

Connexion Communities launched with an exciting milestone — the acquisition of three senior living communities in South Carolina. This growth will strengthen our ability to reinvest in our people, programs, and communities here at home.

Tomorrow, November 15th is National Philanthropy Day, a time to celebrate the generosity that makes our mission possible!

For 40 years, the UMC Foundation has advanced sustainable community living and compassionate care for seniors by raising critical funds for UMC.

Through the partnership and support of our residents, family members, teammates, board members, churches, business sponsors, and friends, we’re able to help older adults live their most abundant lives — providing benevolent care for residents with limited means, innovative healthcare, and community programs that make a lasting impact.

To everyone who gives, serves, and believes in our mission: thank you for 40 years of philanthropy and partnership. 💙
