REDEFINING SEARCH AND RESCUE
Western Pennsylvania Search and Rescue Development Center (WPSARDC) is dedicated to serving at-risk and vulnerable individuals in our communities. Since our founding in 2000, we have grown into an organization focused exclusively on supporting these populations.
As a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), we combine specialized emergency response capabilities with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by vulnerable individuals. This expertise allows us to provide compassionate, effective assistance during times of crisis and emergency.
Our mission is to promote safety, security, and well-being for those most in need. Through quality services, community partnerships, and unwavering dedication, we strive to ensure that every person has access to the support and resources necessary to remain safe and protected.
At Calli Outreach center, we understand the importance of helping those in need. That's why we, along with our partners, are committed to providing solutions for individuals, families, and communities. Our goal is to empower our communities by ensuring that everyone has access to food, shelter and other basic support. With our dedicated team and caring partners, we work tirelessly to provide assistance to those who need it most, one individual, one family and one community at a time.
Operation: Take Me Home is an innovative safety program created in 2004 to provide assistance to individuals that wandered or eloped. In 2020, the program expanded to include more extensive services due to the pandemic. We saw the vulnerable population in our communities falling through society's cracks.

The simple act of donating cell phones and other electronic devices that are no longer being used or that have been left behind in lost-and-found shows the world that simple acts of charity can alleviate the effects of domestic violence, human trafficking, and elder abuse.
The "PHONE IT FORWARD" campaign was created by the 911 Cell Phone Bank (911CPB) (501c3) as a charitable event that allows individuals, businesses, and organizations the opportunity to 'pay it forward' by donating unused electronic devices to help victims in their community.
Radio Direction Finding is an essential service for caregivers who need to locate individuals that wander or elope. Our non-profit organization provides this service to help bring peace of mind to families and ensure the safety of those who are prone to this behavior. This technology is not GPS-based, and it has been proven to be a reliable method for locating individuals who may be disoriented or lost. Contact us today to learn more about our Radio Direction Finding service and how we can help you.
