News Release
More than 300 guests gathered at The Source’s Dignity Ranch on Saturday, November 7, for “Hidden Faces 2026 – From Homeless to Home,” an inspiring celebration of dignity, opportunity, and community.
Despite heavy rain earlier in the week, the skies cleared as The Source opened the gates of its 30-acre campus, offering visitors a firsthand look at an innovative approach to addressing homelessness in Indian River County. More than a fundraiser, “Hidden Faces” was an opportunity to challenge perceptions and demonstrate what happens when individuals experiencing homelessness are treated as neighbors, not numbers.
At Dignity Ranch, residents are not simply provided housing. They become part of a community where everyone contributes, participates, and discovers renewed purpose. Through employment opportunities, supportive services, and meaningful relationships, neighbors are rebuilding their lives while helping create a place they proudly call home.
Beginning at 4 p.m., guests explored the beautifully landscaped property through walking tours, golf cart rides, and hay wagon excursions. Each visitor received a campus map highlighting the ranch’s facilities and programs. Throughout the property, staff, volunteers, and neighbors shared stories, offered refreshments, and demonstrated how The Source transforms compassion into lasting opportunities.
Guests also enjoyed delicious food prepared through The Source’s Dignity Catering Program, including offerings from the Dignity Food Truck and the newly introduced Dignity Chuckwagon.
The afternoon continued beneath large tents overlooking the basketball and pickleball courts, where Executive Director Anthony Zorbaugh welcomed attendees and shared his vision for Dignity Ranch.
A highlight of the celebration came when Indian River County Commissioner Laura Moss presented a proclamation recognizing November 7, 2026, as “Hidden Faces Day,” honoring The Source’s commitment to restoring dignity and transforming lives. Country music artist Kenzie Wheeler, runner-up on NBC’s The Voice, entertained guests with a memorable performance, bringing an uplifting conclusion to the celebration.
But the most powerful message came from the neighbors themselves. Their stories demonstrated that homelessness does not define a person’s worth, potential, or future. “Hidden Faces 2026” revealed something extraordinary: When people are given opportunity, accountability, encouragement, and a genuine sense of belonging, lives can change.
The Source extends heartfelt gratitude to its generous sponsors, dedicated staff, volunteers, and community supporters who made this event possible. Their commitment continues to strengthen a mission that reaches far beyond providing temporary shelter.
Founded in 1995, I Am Ministries, doing business as The Source, is a Christian outreach ministry dedicated to helping individuals experiencing homelessness achieve stability, independence, and renewed dignity through innovative programs and community-centered solutions. For those who attended, Dignity Ranch was more than a beautiful property. It was living proof that hope can become reality.
“Hidden Faces” was not simply an event. It was an invitation to help build a future where everyone has dignity, opportunity, and a place to call home. The Source – Neighbors, Not Numbers.
