The group Home has new paving!
The Group Home has a wider and safer walking path
for our residents as well as a safer driveway and parking area thanks to
the great job by Racey Paving! However, it was all paid for by grants
and donations from Shenandoah Valley Electric Coop, Shenandoah Community
Foundation, New Market Eagles, and another generous grant. Our heartfelt thanks to all involved for providing this outdoor improvement. The residents love walking the path.
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. 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.
