It all began in 1991 when a group of men from Dripping Springs Methodist Church, the Men in Mission, decided to cook a good meal, share some laughs, and give back to their community. Out of that mix of friendship, service, and great food, the first Wild Game Dinner was born.

What started as a small church gathering has grown into one of Dripping Springs’ most beloved traditions: a night where friends, families, and neighbors come together to celebrate generosity and community spirit.

Our mission is to bring people together through food, fellowship, and faith in action—raising support for local needs and strengthening the Dripping Springs community one shared meal at a time.

Over the years, this event has raised nearly $1 million for local charities, thanks to the incredible support of sponsors, volunteers, and guests.

More than 30 years later, the heart of the Wild Game Dinner remains the same: good food, good people, and a shared commitment to making Dripping Springs an even better place to call home.

Thank you for being part of this story and for helping keep this Dripping Springs tradition alive!
