Every year we review requests for financial assistance from throughout the community in a variety of shapes and sizes. Our goal is to identify immediate needs where we can provide assistance to the highest level of impact, and put the funds we raise to work as soon as possible. If you know of a pressing need in the community please get in touch with our leadership. Some of the recent beneficiaries of the good will of our Wild Game Dinner guests have been:

The Burke Center for Youth
Burke Center for Youth is a nonprofit organization formed in 1973 to care for Texas children who are removed from their home environments due to abuse, neglect, or problems with the law. We are providing help and hope to children in crisis through our services. These are the children that belong to no one, and yet, they belong to us all. Help us to help these children in order that they may eventually belong in a family.
