Sunny Glen Children’s Home:
A Brief History

Sunny Glen Children's Home began in 1936 by offering residential care to 6 children in a two-story house near La Feria, Texas.  During its first year, child placement demand was so great that the home moved to a larger facility in San Juan, Texas, that could house up to 30 children.

In 1945, Sunny Glen purchased an 80 acre tract of land in San Benito, Texas in order to expand its services to more children.  Construction began in 1948 and, in 1949, Sunny Glen moved to its present location.  Sunny Glen Children's Home now has four cottages capable of comfortably housing 32 children and their houseparents.

In February of 2006 we opened the Joyce "Kimbro" Aycock Learning Center.  The learning center houses a library, computer lab, classrooms, and our counseling department.  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer tutor or helping out in any other way, please contact our office at (956) 399-5356.
