Wesley Community Center

Established in the hearts of Corpus Christi and Robstown, Wesley Community Center has aided the less fortunate since 1942. Our mission is to develop, implement, and administer program models which empower children and families in need by providing quality childcare for homeless, CPS, and low-income families, permanent housing with support services for homeless mothers with dependent children, and Food Pantries that provide over 100,000 meals a year to low-income families and individuals.

QUALITY CHILD CARE
Wesley Community Center serves a large number of homeless children living in emergency shelters and/or transitional housing facilities and is the oldest and one of the very few quality childcare centers in rural Nueces County. Our programs offer a healthy, developmentally appropriate learning experience that nurtures children to build confidence, character, and self-worth.

Each year, Wesley's childcare program provides services to hundreds of homeless children, children placed in our care by Child Protective Services (CPS), and children of low to mid-income parents. The children receive the best of care from loving and nurturing staff members. Wesley has a well-trained staff that uses a diverse curriculum, which allows children to grow cognitively and socially. 97% of our children meet their social, emotional, and physical targeted developmental milestones.

Testimonials

"I realized my children and I had become statistics. We were the stereotypical single-parent family living at the poverty level. I knew I wanted a better life for my children . . . I am forever grateful for everyone at Wesley Community Center who made it possible for me to change the course of my life and that of my children." - Ester S., Wesley Parent

"I know I am unable to pay for your services even though you deserve a lot, I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Wesley Community Center and the wonderful things you do." - Shelter Parent.
