Castle physicians brighten the holidays for families at Weinberg Village
“Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.”—Galatians 2:20
This holiday season, as they have
for many years, Adventist Health Castle’s Medical Staff contributed to those in need and provided fifteen warm Thanksgiving dinners to the less fortunate; as well as sixteen Christmas trees along with bags of decorations and lights to residents of the Waimanalo Weinberg Village. The Waimanalo Weinberg Village is a non- profit facility that provides transitional housing and services to families who were homeless or at risk.
