Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Bend’s (BGCCB) first Club was established in 1957 at the La Armada Housing projects in Corpus Christi, Texas by Sheridan Lewis, the President of Southern Community Gas Company. The demand for a Club in our community was so overwhelming that the club's location changed twice within a 12-year span to accommodate growth. The opening of the Greenwood Unit in 1969 was able to provide adequate space for the increasing demand.
