At Pine Castle, the students aged 22 and up receive hands-on life skills and work training so they can get a job and live independently to the best of their abilities. “When they’re here at Pine Castle, they learn interpersonal skills,” Whittington said. “We put a card in each kit with a picture of who packed that kit for you,” Whittington said. You see the joy in their eyes with the work that they’re doing.”Lighting up Christmas, one box at a time.
