We provide a gathering place where people of all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds learn and serve together in a community of mutual trust and respect. The community is vibrant and filled with a rich cultural tradition. We encourage the growth and empowerment of those we serve, so they may fully participate in their own development and increase their capacity to be leaders and contributors to their families and the community.

They are characterized by hope, compassion, resilience, and integrity.

    El Buen is celebrating a monumental milestone! Today, we mark Dr. Rosamaria Murillo’s five-year anniversary as our fearless CEO — five years of visionary leadership, unwavering commitment to social justice, and remarkable impact on Central Texas. Affectionately known as Dr. M by her staff, she joined El Buen at a pivotal moment in our history. Shortly after Dr. M accepted the call to lead El Buen, she faced the unimaginable challenges of the pandemic. She stepped up to the challenge, guiding El Buen and our community with grace and courage. Her love language is “resources” and, guided by that, she secured millions of dollars to serve our neighbors. Dr. M invested this critical funding directly into the community and the many partner organizations that, like El Buen, were bearing the weight of the pandemic. Dr. M is a force of love, joy, and hope for our beloved community. She inspires everyone around her to believe that the impossible is possible. She loves to surprise staff with her “Manager Specials” – unexpected solutions and creative ideas that keep us moving forward and advance our mission. Thank you, Dr. M, for your tireless work, your love for us all, and your vision for a thriving and equitable future. Here’s to many more years of transformative leadership and community impact.“ Avanzando Futuros!”

    ☀️ Week 1 of our Summer Camp Session 2 was a great success! Our theme for the week was “Artists in the Making.” Our 1st and 2nd-grade campers explored the world of shapes and sizes, while our 3rd to 5th graders unleashed their creativity with 3D art using air-dry clay. In addition, campers honed their writing composition and storytelling skills by identifying and reflecting on the characteristics of role models in their lives. Our 6th to 8th-grade campers built meaningful connections with older adults from our intergenerational program, engaging in pro-social interactions, developing empathy, and boosting their self-confidence through creative dance movement. We look forward to next week’s theme: Nature Explorers! Stay tuned for our weekly recap!

    Shoutout to our volunteers of the month! Silvia and Ron learned about El Buen through an event at St. Mark’s Episcopal. Ron has volunteered as an ESL instructor for one year and in our food pantry for two years, while Silvia has volunteered in our food pantry for three years. They enjoy the daily interactions with staff and other volunteers, appreciating the shared sense of purpose and humor. The culture of helping others, along with the dedication of the staff, volunteers, and the clients we serve, keeps Silvia and Ron motivated and engaged as volunteers. Thank you, Silvia and Ron, for your time and dedication to El Buen!
