>>> Project Home Again

Michael & Son Services, Inc. is proud to announce its participation in Project Home Again, a national program that helps locate missing, kidnapped, and runaway children. Project Home Again is a community outreach program sponsored by the Mechanical Service Contractors of America (MSCA), of which Michael & Son Services is a member, in conjunction with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

According to NCMEC, approximately 800,000 children disappear each year as a result of family abductions, kidnappings, and running away. This means that over 2,100 children-or 90 an hour-disappear each day. Through Project Home Again, local MSCA contractors can assist in efforts to find missing children and help bring them safely home.

Michael & Son will be displaying posters of missing children from the local area on their service vehicles. Since these service vehicles travel extensively around the community on a daily basis, it is hoped that many people will see the poster and the missing child will be recognized, found and returned to his/her family. Each poster includes a photo of the child at the time he or she was first reported missing, biographical information, and phone numbers to call if the child has been seen or if anyone has information.

Since project Home Again began in 1998, MSCA contractors have displayed over 6,000 posters of more than 200 different children on service vehicles across the country. Over 130 of the children have been found. MSCA works with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to identify missing children in MSCA member markets. MSCA members then purchase the magnetic posters from MSCA, which include a recent photograph of the child and descriptive information along with local authorities and NCMEC contact information. MSCA members have fleets of trucks which travel extensively throughout the markets they service creating mobile billboards for the missing children.
