At only 22 years old he is a proud advocate for his community. Eric previously served as a Board Member and Spokesperson for Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Texas, his home agency, where he excelled in outreach and recruitment initiatives.

📣 Mount Morris Middle School Lunch Buddy Program Wrap-Up! 🥪✨

🎉 As the school year comes to a close, we’re celebrating the incredible moments from the Mount Morris Middle School Lunch Buddy Program!

🍕🎲📚 This year was filled with laughter, games, learning, and so much joy. Our Lunch Buddies – both students and volunteers – created meaningful connections over shared meals, fun activities, and thoughtful conversations.

🤝Whether it was discovering a new board game, sharing stories, or just having someone to talk to, every lunch hour reminded us how powerful a little time and kindness can be.

👬Our Big Brothers were very consistent and there to support the youths and help them work towards the big bright and bold future!.

💚 Thank you to all the amazing mentors, school staff, and students who made this program so special and possible.

Next year, this could be you—joining us as a mentor, whether it’s at school or out in the community, building bonds and creating memories through fun and purposeful activities build strong and meaningful connections that could last a lifetime!
