Who We Are
Indian River Habitat for Humanity has been in operation on Florida's Treasure Coast since 1991 and has built more than 230 homes throughout the county, from Fellsmere on the north to the Oslo Park area in the south county.
Habitat offers "A Hand up, NOT a Handout": home buyers work side by side with our volunteers, putting in required Sweat Equity hours to make their dream of home ownership a reality.
In 2005, 2006 and 2009, our affiliate received the prestigious Affiliate of the Year award from Habitat for Humanity International, a reflection of the dedication and generous support of our donors, volunteers and staff.
Our campus includes administrative offices, a warehouse and our Home Center Store and is located at 4568 N. US 1 in Gifford, just north of Vero Beach.
Our Mission
Indian River Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian ministry working in partnership with people from all walks of life and faiths to build homes and communities with those in need and to encourage everyone involved to live and grow into all God intended.
Habitat Home Center Store
This 30,000-square-foot facility is a vital fund-raising arm of IRHFH, having generated $4 million in sales since opening in 2005. Donated building supplies, appliances, furniture and home decor items are brought to the Home Center daily, and donors receive receipts for tax purposes. The Home Center is open Monday-Saturday, 10-5. Click to learn more.
Volunteers Are Our Lifeblood
The vision our Habitat's founder, Millard Fuller, included a ministry whose lifeblood would be its volunteers. And Indian River Habitat for Humanity could never have become and continue to be as successful as it is without this priceless asset. You can be a Habitat volunteer in several ways, on the jobsite, of course, but also through serving on committees, providing snacks at the jobsite, a variety of office work, and working with our homeowners and their families to ensure their success.
