Family-Reunification Services

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's (NCMEC) Hotline pioneered a model program to assist families in the reunification process by arranging for transportation and lodging for families who cannot afford these costs when picking up their missing child once found.

Private-sector partners, American Airlines^®, Amtrak, Continental Airlines^®, and Greyhound^® provide these services free of charge to the families in need of financial assistance when picking up their child, and the programs are coordinated exclusively through NCMEC.
