This past month, our friends Renovation Husbands have been hard at work in the backyard of The Landing Place, putting together the greatest backyard revitalization of all time! They reached out to us and our partners at OUT Maine before the month of June to offer us a completely free renovation, courtesy of their sponsors AllModern. We are truly in awe of the work they put in, and we can't WAIT for the youth to see the space themselves. Our summer programming begins July 8 - check out our website if you want to learn more! https://homeworthy.org/the-landing-place

For the SkillsUSA national competition, they fundraised for much-needed art supplies for TLP. Thank you so much and CONGRATS to them all for graduating from Mid-Coast School of Technology this year!

A huge shoutout to everyone who was able to attend The Landing Place’s “Thank You So Much” BBQ Celebration on June 5! It was a special gathering celebrating our community's graduating classes of 2025 (elementary, middle, and high school), as well as all the staff and volunteers who help TLP run successfully throughout the year.

What an an uplifting reminder of how good it feels when we're able to come together to celebrate what we have in common in community-minded ways!

A few extra big shoutouts to:
- Mark G, for once again doing such an outstanding job of DJing the event for us
- Swathi, Liv, and Tanner for doing such a stellar job of effectively and creatively facilitating our Youth Engagement activities
- The amazing culinary team at DRY DOCK for preparing a spectacular BBQ spread for us 🍔 !
