Dignity News 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 how it is being eradicated here in Indian River County.

The Source Presents “Hidden Faces,” A Behind the Scenes Look at this Ever-Growing Non-Profit ...An Evening to Entertain & Educate... BY BEVERLY PARIS
The community is invited to a special event that will please the palate with delicious food and drink, while enjoying music and the mingling with good friends. Most importantly, the event is designed to offer a moving, and uplifting observation of what is happening “Behind the Scenes at The Source.” This nonprofit organization works closely with the most vulnerable of individuals residing in our community…the needy and the homeless in Indian River County. The third annual “Hidden Faces,” will be held on Thursday evening, October 3 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at The Heritage Center, 2140 14th Ave. in the heart of historic downtown Vero Beach. The event last year was sold out, so securing tickets early is advisable.
The event 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 license….those who are now living with pride and with dignity! Attendees will also enjoy award-winning food, cooked by The Source’s Dignity Catering program and served by students of their Dining with Dignity Culinary Training Program, and a cash bar on the outside patio.
