The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club

For over 50 years, The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs have been unique places created by The Salvation Army that offer programs and services that exemplify and actively practice Christian principles. This is done in a way that causes recipients of our services to learn to admire the values, ethics and skills presented, and incorporate them into their own lives. To reach today’s young people and their families in a non-threatening way, our Clubs create an accepting, positive and challenging environment where young people of every background, circumstance, race, creed and religion feel welcomed. As part of the Salvation Army’s family and services, this program is offered to the poorest and neediest among us. It is for this reason that The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs are so vital to The Salvation Army’s mission and ministry

The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of Texas City choir sang at the Women’s Auxiliary Boots and BBQ event at the Nessler Center on April 21. This was their first public performance and some were a little nervous! The music program is brand new and headed up by Ezequiel Garcia-Alcala, a Corps Mission Associate serving Texas City for two years. Ezequiel shared that he was introduced to music as a child in Mexico in a Salvation Army program and now he teaches children about the love of God through music.
