Sears provides Home Services fleet for missing children search

PHOENIX Sears Home Services, a division of Sears Holdings, announced that its service fleet of nearly 10,000 will assist in the search for missing children. The action is in association with AmberAlert.com, an alerting technology company.

Through the newly-formed alliance, AmberAlert.com sends AMBER alerts directly to Sears Home Services dispatching centers, which distribute them electronically to its fleet of vehicles in those areas closest to the point of abduction. Sears Home Services technicians make more than 13 million service calls annually, covering 10s-of-millions of miles in urban, suburban and rural neighborhoods across the United States. They will help serve as the eyes and ears in the community in the event a child goes missing and will seek to report any relevant observations to law enforcement.

"As the nation's largest product repair provider, we're proud to partner with such a positive, community-based organization that looks out for America's children and families," said Stuart Reed, president of Sears Home Services and senior vp of Sears Holdings. "This effort fits squarely with our vision of improving the lives of our customers by providing quality services, products and solutions that earn their trust and build lifetime relationships."
