Dear Friends: 

 

True love was found at SEARCH! Marisa and Harry Brown met in our Resource Center Kitchen, married and now have children who volunteer here as well. Their story below tells how strangers with shared values can make deep connections in unexpected places!

 

Many others have found meaning through their connections with SEARCH.

 

Mary Cortez tutors adults who are preparing to take their GED exam; Sandy Harris reads to children in our House of Tiny Treasures; Robert Tomlinson serves breakfast and lunch to our clients in the Resource Center; Jerry Cohn sorts clients' mail and Erin Kreindler takes candid photos of families during our client holiday parties.

 

Share your acts of kindness by volunteering and connecting with SEARCH. 

 

I hope you have a happy and meaningful Valentine's Day.
