The Landing Place is currently looking for community support to help us fulfill some of our wishlist items (see below). We have been taking the TLP Mobile Unit to area schools during lunch time to help meet the needs of our youth. They are able to come outside and take any sort of items they may need: winter gear, clothing, shoes, socks, toiletries/hygiene products, snacks, etc. The Mobile Unit has given youth the opportunity to reconnect with us or get to know what we’re all about!
The “most currently urgent needs” listed are items that have been requested by youth during these visits. We have a high turnover of goods at The Landing Place, which we love because it means the youth are getting what they need! As fast as items come in, they are quickly put back into the community via the Mobile Unit and trips to our Free Store at 61 Park Street, Rockland. If you would like to donate any of the items on our wishlist, we are available to receive donations on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 10am-2pm. You can call ahead (207-691-6240) to confirm that staff is available to meet you. Thank you for being part of our community!
