The community is invited to a special event designed to offer a moving, and uplifting observation of what is happening Behind the Scenes at The Source. This non-profit organization, works closely with the most vulnerable of individuals residing in our community.

 “Hidden Faces” is an annual event that will be held on Thursday evening, October 16 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at The Richardson Center at Indian River State College, 6155 College Lane, Vero Beach, FL. This popular event generally sells out, so securing tickets early is advisable.

“Hidden Faces” will demonstrate what The Source does and the people they help…day after day while presenting a compelling program featuring images of the human side of homelessness in our community through video and in-person commentary. Attendees will hear success stories about the growth of the organization over the past 30 years. They will also have the opportunity to hear testimonials from various members whose lives have been transformed….those that now have employment, a roof over their head, a reunion with a separated family, or a reinstatement of their driver’s license….those who are now living with pride and with dignity!

Attendees will enjoy award-winning food, cooked by The Source’s Dignity Catering and served by students of their Dining with Dignity Culinary Training Program, along with a cash bar. Register to win prizes and enjoy a parting gift upon leaving from what is expected to be a most memorable evening.

While homelessness is prevalent throughout the nation, this event will offer insight on how The Source is tackling this issue in our community.  You will walk away from the evening with more awareness on the issue of homelessness and proud to learn just how it is being eradicated right here in Indian River County.
