Behind Every Family. Beside Every Search.

Operation Missing is not a search team or an investigative unit — we’re the support system behind those who are.

We help families and grassroots groups bring visibility to their missing loved ones through campaigns, event planning tools, and awareness support that honors each person’s story with dignity and care.

We believe no one should have to search alone — and no one should have to figure out how to raise awareness from scratch.

Whether you're a family member, a volunteer, or someone ready to help, Operation Missing gives you the structure, resources, and encouragement to turn heartbreak into action.
