A Trusted Symbol of Hope
The Source is the only drop-in outreach ministry in Indian River County that serves as a cold weather shelter, opens seven days a week, provides hot meals, clothing, basic hygiene items, showers and laundering facilities, mail and phone services, job readiness programs, cooperative community agency referrals, and a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Dining With Dignity
The Source has launched a new program called “Dining with Dignity.” This is the first restaurant style dining atmospere for those in need in our community and on the east coast of Florida. Clients are no longer standing in lines.
Who We Are, Who We Serve
These are real people. They are families struggling to pay bills, single parents living paycheck to paycheck, or individuals who have lost their homes, hope, and their peace of mind. At The Source, we see all of these individuals.
Volunteers…. We Need You!

Kyle has been a dedicated member of The Source and has worked a myriad of jobs for the organization. Until recently he has been sleeping on the Dignity Bus. He has now been given the opportunity to make this trailer his home and pays monthly rent to The Source to live there. He is humbled by the opportunity to better himself and to get on his own two feet. In asking him what he enjoys the most about his new home, his answer was simple. “I’m happy to have ice cream that can last a day without melting.” That says it all.
Members of The Source do varied jobs for building and ground maintenance, and in turn earn them “Source Bucks”. Once accumulated, the “Source Bucks” can be handed in towards the purchase of a variety of needs. Recently, many of the members have been purchasing new bicycles for their transportation by earning enough of the “Source Bucks” to pay for them.
Source Bucks are used for any number of member needs..here is another bicycle purchased with hard working source Bucks.
Member turned in Source bucks while doing work around the building and campus and earned money towards a new bicycle.
Alfred earned enough Source bucks to get transportation to and from work

Making Students Smile-Dignity Smiles
Thanks to Dr. Thomas Balshi (retired dental specialist)and Dr. Sadesh Kumar (owner of Wickham Dental Care of Melbourne), two of the graduates of the Dining with Dignity Culinary Program have received the needed dental care that allows them to smile again, with confidence, and employment!
Steve Seaton of the Baking with Dignity Program – “It’s nice to know that even though I am in a difficult time in my life that I have a place where I can go and not have to worry about the basic necessities of life, like having a place to sleep at night, a shower, food, clothing and a program that is helping me to learn skills that I can use to better myself.”
