HISTORY
In
1978, committed parents living in the small Delta town
of Marvell, Arkansas came together to save their
children. Out of their efforts was born the Boys, Girls,
Adults Community Development Center, Inc. (BGACDC), a
grassroots organization that aims to improve the overall
quality of life for the poor, mainly African American
residents.
Today,
BGACDC serves as the center of community life in
Marvell. Volunteers, supporters, and BGACDC staff work
together to achieve goals no one thought possible.
BGACDC
builds community competency by empowering people to help
themselves. |
