Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, and must register — with photo identification — at the search center. 

Dress appropriately for the weather, wear long pants and sturdy, covered toe shoes. We need people who can do foot searches as well as individuals who are willing to work in the Find Sierra Search Center. We are also looking for donations of food and office supplies.

Anyone not intending to volunteer with the search for Sierra is highly discouraged from attending, and will be denied access to the site.

Sierra’s family, The KlaasKids Foundation, The Laura Recovery Center, and Child Quest International would like to thank everyone who has volunteered so far. 

The KlaasKids Foundation is continuing to assist law enforcement and the LaMar family with future searches.
