Join us this Thursday, October 30, for our epic Halloween celebration with the RSU13 Youth Alliance! There will be a costume contest, pumpkin carving and painting, spooky music, yummy food, bowls of candy, donuts on a string, roasted marshmallows, face painting, jewelry making, fortune-telling, and more! We hope to see you all there :)

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 WON! The Landing Place was awarded the “Power of the Positive” Award from Maine Youth Thriving in the “Positive Youth Environments” category! The Landing Place Director Joseph Hufnagel, Assistant Director Emily Carver, and Homeworthy Executive Director Molly Feeney accepted the award in person at the MYT Summit on October 10.

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.

We are hosting a Halloween Party at the end of the month, and we need your help! We are looking for costumes (new or gently used, teenager, one size fits all, adult sizes), decorations, and candy. If you're able to donate any of these items, reach out to donations@homeworthy.org to set up a specific time or drop off during TLP's operating hours. Thank you!

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.

Thank you Joan - we're so grateful you're in Homeworthy's corner!
