Operation Lookout disseminates photos of missing children in various ways, such as: posters, media display ads, store receipts, on highway truck banners, and in the OL missing children’s Website album, The use of stickers on vending machines is yet another way to assist in locating missing and abducted children.

Displaying missing children stickers provides many rewards to vending machine owners:

A charity with a worthy cause, like Operation Lookout, helps vending machine owners to secure prime, high-traffic locations for their equipment. Store owners and merchants often give preference to vendors involved in community efforts.

• Stickers on vending machines assists in locating missing and abducted children.


• Provides public educational awareness by displaying information on where to turn for help should they ever need our services.


• Affords another avenue for keeping the plight of missing children and their victim-families as an urgent priority before the public.


• Fulfills an invaluable community service on behalf of missing children and their searching parents.

As an Operation Lookout Vending Machine Partner, you will be provided with stickers designed by Operation Lookout.

• As the vendor you are NOT fundraising or soliciting donations on behalf of Operation Lookout.


• Vendor must not misrepresent itself as a fundraiser, non-profit organization, or as being in legal partnership with OL, but as co-venture.


• Vending machine owners or their representatives MUST NOT do fundraising on behalf of Operation Lookout without an approved application and signed agreement on record.
