A huge thank you to the team at Sail Away Maine Realty & Property Management, Inc. and friends for their donation of eight bikes to local youth! The team at Sidecountry Sports generously offered a discount on the purchase price for Sail Away - we are always floored by the support we receive from our neighbors! Thanks for helping make the holidays brighter for the young folks in our community.

COMMUNITY CHALLENGE: In honor of Giving Tuesday, our amazing friends Renovation Husbands stopped by to drop off a $1000 check for The Landing Place!

They are challenging our community to see if their $1000 donation can be MATCHED from individual donors. Want to join the challenge? Visit our page at https://homeworthy.org/donate-now at choose "The Landing Place" as your donation designation in the drop-down menu.

A huge thank you to the crew at Aldermere Farm and Erickson Fields for donating pumpkins for carving at The Landing Place! We're so grateful to be supported by our community in ways like this. Happy (almost) Halloween!

Erickson Fields donated pumpkins to The Landing Place for their Fall Celebration!

The Landing Place is a youth center offering a wide variety of services to resilient and often marginalized youth experiencing adversity. We can’t wait to see these pumpkins carved!

We are incredibly grateful to those of you who voted for us to win this award — it is so wonderful to see The Landing Place’s work celebrated in this way. Sending a special thanks to the many youth who choose The Landing Place as their space, and to the incredible team who shows up everyday.

Camden resident and local supporter Joan Herzog once again held a permaculture garden plant sale to benefit The Landing Place, and raised $500! We love when community members find creative ways to show their support to this organization.
