WILMINGTON — A fundraiser to help locate missing persons is planned this month for National Missing Children Day.
On May 25, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Community United Effort Center for Missing Persons is hosting an annual barbecue at 6769 Market St. There will be local nonprofits in attendance, as well as families representing missing loved ones and unsolved homicide cases.
“This day is important for those who are in need of support and active in their search for answers and those in need of a resolution,” according to CUE founder Monica Caison.
CUE was founded in 1994 to provide advocacy for missing persons, adults, free professionally trained search personnel and victim support service. It has helped over 13,000 families nationwide and is staffed by volunteers.
There will be free handouts for children, a bouncy house, and BBQ plates sold for $12, as a donation to keep the center active. Families who have a missing loved one are welcome to bring in signs and banners, and set up a table with promotional items featuring their case (contact Mrs. Keller at cuemember14@gmail.com or CUE at cuecenter@aol.com).
