Wall Raising!

Early risers, this one is worth setting the alarm for. On Friday, November 13, neighbors are invited to a wall raising in Gifford, where the walls go up on what will become Veterans Point Place.

It is part of Indian River Habitat for Humanity's Community Leaders Build 2026, and this home is House #504, built with the Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council. A wall raising is the moment a house stops being a slab and a stack of lumber and starts looking like a home, and it is a fun thing to see in person.

The flyer says it plainly: all are welcome. Come cheer on the builders, meet the folks behind the project and see how a local home for veterans takes shape. Dyer Vero Beach Chevrolet sponsors the house, and the REALTORS Association of Indian River County is the presenting sponsor of this year's Community Leaders Build.

When: Friday, November 13, 2026, 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM.

Where: 4835 35th Ave, Gifford (Vero Beach), FL.

The event is listed on the Indian River County calendar under Veterans Events. No registration step or cost is listed, so check the county calendar page for any updates before you head over.
