Where Our Work Shows Up
The 36 West Foundation operates exclusively within Corpus Christi, Texas. These stories reflect real, hands-on impact — building trust, removing barriers, and strengthening communities from within.
01
Neighborhood Revitalization
Corpus Christi · 2024
Bringing Back Gardenia Drive
The 1000 block of Gardenia Drive had seen years of neglect. Residents felt overlooked and disconnected.
We worked directly with the community — organizing clean-ups, connecting homeowners to city programs, and restoring neglected spaces.
Outcome: 2 lots restored, 14 households assisted, and a new resident association formed.
02
Youth & Education
Corpus Christi · 2024
After School Support for Families
Many families lacked access to safe after-school programs.
We mapped resources, created guides, and partnered with local centers to expand access.
Outcome: 200+ families reached and 30% increase in program participation.
03
Civic Engagement
Corpus Christi · 2025
Connecting Residents to City Services
Many residents were unaware of available support programs.
We hosted workshops explaining services, applications, and civic participation.
Outcome: 340 residents engaged and 80+ households connected to services.
