A benefit evening for Made to Serve
The Made to Serve Gala
An evening of dinner, stories and worship, raising $150,000 so we can keep showing up for our neighbors experiencing homelessness in Austin.
Friday, December 4, 2026 · 6:30 PM · Stray Vista Studios, Dripping Springs · Cocktail attire
Our goal: $150,000
Every ticket, table and gift counts toward the goal.
Meeting physical and spiritual needs, one relationship at a time.
Three routes a week, Made to Serve teams go out across Austin with meals, water, Bibles and local resource information. But the meal is only the start. We stop, listen to people’s stories, pray with them and share the love of Jesus Christ.
What began in January 2024 has grown into a team serving hundreds of neighbors, with Discovery Bible Studies now meeting on our routes. This gala funds the next season of that work.
