City Announces $25,000 H-E-B Donation for Senior Centers and Launch of Holiday ‘Explore More’ Free Admission Program
Contribution will expand programming at eight senior centers while offering free admission to premier local attractions in November and December
The City of Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department is proud to recognize H-E-B for a generous $25,000 donation to expand senior center programming, alongside a renewed commitment to fund free community admission to major local attractions this holiday season.
The $25,000 contribution will support enhanced recreational, educational, social, and wellness initiatives for adults ages 50 and older across the City’s eight senior centers.
Additionally, H-E-B is sponsoring the return of the “Explore More” program, providing free admission to four premier Corpus Christi cultural and educational attractions throughout November and December:
- Art Museum of South Texas
- Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History
- Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures & Educational Center
- South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center
Note: Free admission dates and hours vary by venue, and special exhibits may require a separate fee. Specific schedules are available on the Explore More website.
“We are incredibly grateful to H-E-B for its generosity and continued commitment to our community,” said Robert Dodd, Parks & Recreation Director. “This investment allows us to expand opportunities at our eight senior centers while making local attractions accessible to all our residents. Partnerships like this go beyond financial support—they create meaningful experiences, encourage community connection, and make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.”
The City’s eight senior centers serve as vital community hubs, empowering active adults 50 and older to build friendships, pursue lifelong learning, and maintain healthy lifestyles.
