It takes a family to raise a community. Castle of the Valley partners with our own kin and with our neighbors, clinics, schools, faith communities, and local businesses to turn love into logistics. We honor Marilyn Joy & William Hardina and the seven—our roots and our vow: no one left behind. Siblings, nieces, nephews co-host respite days, prep rooms, cook meals, record stories, and steward the shoreline. The next generation learns Human2Human care—how to welcome, listen, and serve.
