The Annual Thanksgiving Celebration at The Source

The Source is a 5,000 sq. ft. Christian Ministry/outreach facility open seven days a week, addressing the complex needs of the poor and homeless in Indian River County. Their purpose is to offer life-changing possibilities to residents in crisis; offering emergency hunger relief, clothing, counseling, support groups, hygiene items, showers, mail and telephone services, benefit referrals, cold weather refuge, and more.

The Source believes that food is a tool to strengthen bodies physically and spiritually, empower minds, build communities. The Source feeds hundreds of poverty stricken residents free of charge every day, three meals a day through their Dining with Dignity program.

Over 100 people attended the complimentary five-hour annual “Thanksgiving Day Celebration at the Source” Tuesday, November 24. Many in attendance also left with free turkeys (donated by local firefighters and businesses) as well as ready-made dinners to bring to other friends and family in critical need of a hot meal.

Looking to volunteer or donate to their newest initiatives?

• The Dignity Food Truck operates 5 days a week providing additional training opportunities for homeless culinary students. Interested in a private lunch or inviting the Food Truck to a high traffic area?

• The Dignity Bus is ready to launch by end of year offering safe emergency shelter in twenty climate controlled sleeping pods for those living on the street until they can get back on their feet. Interested in helping to fund on-going maintenance, personnel and daily upkeep costs?
• The Dignity Village, now on the drawing board, will be the largest non-profit campus on the Treasure Coast offering work, home and prayer within one self-contained community. Financial, professional, and volunteerism will make this dream a reality. Does that speak your name?
