Who we are

Shenandoah County SEARCH, Inc. (“SEARCH”) was established in August, 1978 by Preston and Vivian Poole, and others who were interested in the welfare of intellectually challenged citizens. SEARCH is a Section 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, and thus donations to SEARCH are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by applicable law.

SEARCH Continues to operate in memory of Vivian Poole, who dedicated 30 years of her life to this cause.

SEARCH is grateful for the visionary leadership of Sid and Betsy Price following the death of Vivian Poole.  They helped put SEARCH on the road to success! Their generosity and vision provided  SEARCH with the current Thrift Shop building.  Care for our residents guided their vision.

A Lovely Afternoon Tea

On Saturday, June 11, 2022, our guests enjoyed the venue, the decorations, the activities, and especially the delightful food, beautifully prepared and served by SEARCH volunteers! We were glad to be able to hold an Afternoon Tea once again!
