As you can imagine, it is a difficult and painful time for family members and friends of a missing child.

YOU can bring hope and encouragement to these families by becoming a poster partner. Throughout the years, many missing children have been found and reunited with their families because someone recognized a child featured on a poster.

Posters may be copied in color or black and white in any quantity. Once a child’s picture appears in our Missing Children's Directory, you may download and print the poster(s) simply by clicking on "View or Print this Child's Poster" on a child’s description page.

Helpful distribution tips for poster placement:

• Your personally owned business, shop, office, or where you work.
• Employee lounges, back rooms and break rooms — in places that do not display posters in public.
• Fast Food Establishments
• Malls
• Schools
• Grocery and Convenience Stores
• Community and Teen Fun Centers
• Places of Worship
• Youth Centers
• Daycare Centers
• Shelters
• Transportation Stations (train, airport, taxi, ferry, bus, etc.)
• Local Police, Fire Department, or Post Office
• Other public places where high public traffic can easily see the poster.

Some facilities may require posting permission. Please check with management for permission to display the posters.

Distribute copies to friends and family members so they can participate in the search, especially during family holidays and vacation times as they travel, or encourage them to go to our Website www.operationlookout.org for copies. Keep lists of where you placed posters so you can remove or replace them when your posters becomes weathered, worn out, or when a child is found.

Sighting calls will go to our toll-free Helpline at 1-800-LOOKOUT (566-5688), 1-800-782-SEEK (7335) or 1-425-771-SEEK (7335) or by email: casework2@operationlookout.org. We relay all positive leads to the law enforcement office involved in the case.

If you have a personal or business Website, please also consider placing a LINK, BANNER, or PSA ON YOUR SITE FOR OPERATION LOOKOUT. It may not only lead to the recovery of a missing or abducted child, but it will provide vital information to the public in need of knowing WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP, as well as offering prevention and educational information to help keep other children safe.

Operation Lookout deeply appreciates your consideration to participate in this vital program. The life you help recover today, may touch yours tomorrow.
