VERO BEACH — The Source will open its new 30-acre Dignity Ranch to the public for the first time on Saturday, Nov. 7, with an afternoon event, “Hidden Faces 2026: From Homeless to Home.”
The gathering runs from 4 to 8 p.m. at 801 154th Avenue, just west of the Vero Beach Outlets off Route 60. The day will include campus tours, food, live music, and a closing program focused on the nonprofit’s work to address homelessness in Indian River County.
Tickets cost $25 for adults; children attend free. They are available online. Jonathan Orozco, director of development for The Source, can be reached at (772) 564-0202 for more information.
Visitors begin at a registration tent, where they will receive a campus map. Food trucks will be on site, and the organization plans to unveil a new Dignity Chuck Wagon. Tours of the property will be offered on foot, by golf cart, or by tractor-pulled hay ride, with video presentations at featured buildings.
American country singer-songwriter Kenzie Wheeler, a finalist on “The Voice,” will perform an acoustic set from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. under large white tents over the pickleball courts. He is expected to play selections from his catalog and debut a new single. Wheeler will be available for photos and autographs before his performance.
Other activities include cornhole, bounce houses, face painting, mechanical bull rides, a photo booth, an in-studio podcast opportunity, bowling, arcade games, and a visit to the general store. The property’s ponds will be stocked for fishing.
A concluding program begins at 6:30 p.m. It will feature guest speakers and professionally produced videos outlining The Source’s vision, recent achievements, and plans related to housing and support services in the county.
