Funny, compassionate, caring, a loving son, brother, uncle and father. David also had a huge heart.

Stella Maris was a very important part of David Weinberger's life- journey where he spent hours of his time talking with and helping the men at Stella Maris who were struggling from the disease of addiction.

Sadly, David lost his own battle last November.

In his honor, David's family has established the "David G. Weinberger Benevolent Fund" at Stella Maris.

This fund provides the men in Stella Maris' supportive housing with OTC medications, bus passes, clothing, toiletries, shoes and other necessary items they need as they continue to work towards independent lives free of substances.

ABOUT STELLA MARIS

For over 74 years, Stella Maris has been providing transformational chemical dependency and mental health treatment services to anyone from the community regardless of their race, religion, how they identify or their ability to pay.

Today, Stella Maris’s services are more important than ever as we face an ever-growing crisis that is exasperated by COVID-19 and the influx of fentanyl and synthetic drugs into our communities.

This holistic approach to treatment creates a transformational recovery community wherein successful treatment, recovery, and sustained sobriety and stability can occur.
