Our Mission

Western PA Search and Rescue Development Center provides a safe environment that demonstrates, education, and quality care for adults with Intellectual Developmental Disability (IDD), Autism, Victims of Human Trafficking, Homeless Veterans and Homeless Youth. It is our goal to partner with community educational health and social service agencies to provide services to help people gain, maintain, and improve skills that allow them to live and participate in their local community.

Who We Are

The Western Pennsylvania Search and Rescue Development Center (WPSARDC) is a compassionate 501(c)(3) organization that has dedicated resources to serving our community since its founding in 2000 with the program Operation: Take Me Home. Initially, our primary focus was supporting vulnerable individuals who might wander away or become lost. By 2004, we recognized a greater need. We evolved into a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), working tirelessly to address the challenges these vulnerable populations face in emergencies or disasters. In response to a devastating fire in January 2022 that left 60 neighbors homeless, we proudly established the Calli Outreach Center. This center became a beacon of hope, providing food, clothing, and shelter to those in immediate need during a heartbreaking time. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified the struggles our communities face, leading to increased requests for assistance. At The Calli Outreach Center, we listen to the heartfelt stories of individuals and families in need, offering support for accessing nutritious food and covering rent, mortgage, utilities, and emergency housing. We are here to help during these challenging times with compassion and understanding.
