OTC Grand Opening and Habitat 20th Anniversary Celebration

VERO BEACH:  Indian River Humanity hosted approximately 200 guests at its new Office and Training Center Nov. 17, as friends, volunteers, donors, city and county officials, homeowners and staff joined to celebrate the award-winning affiliate’s 20^th anniversary and new facility grand opening. Guests gathered under a tent in the adjacent lawn area for greetings and hors d-oeuvres, then adjourned to the OTC for the welcome and ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by building tours, refreshments and reception.

In addition to providing office, storage and meeting space for staff, volunteers, committees  and boards to carry out their tasks with greater efficiency, the   8,100-square-foot OTC also provides space for training classes for Habitat homebuyers and homeowners as well as space for use by other area non-profits.

The OTC project has in no way reduced the number of families served by Habitat, both through new construction and the renovation/refurbishing and Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative programs.

Indian River Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian ministry which builds simple, decent homes with qualified families in need in Indian River County. Anyone interesting in touring the new building is welcome to visit. Some room sponsorships are still available, as well.  For information on room sponsorships and building tours contact Peggy Gibbs, X209.
