Through the power of photo programs such as this, of the more than 2,000 children featured, more than 1,200 have been recovered. Our America's Looking For Its Missing Children® program has fundamentally changed the way America searches for missing children.

Using our strengths to help the nation's children, in partnership with NCMEC and the United States Postal Service (USPS), we founded America's Looking For Its Missing Children® program in 1985 and have been reuniting missing children with their families for 25 years.

The program's Have You Seen Me?® images feature the names and photos of missing children on both the mailed and newspaper insert RedPlum coupon versions as well as at both the company's web sites at www.redplum.com and www.valassis.com. In May 2010 the program commemorates 25 years of joining together with NCMEC and the USPS in asking the American public to take a look at these photos and help find missing children. This program delivers hope to the families of missing children. We remain committed to bringing many more home. And saving families any way we can.
