New program at Art Van quickly finds missing kids

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 1, 2010

WARREN, Mich. —

Top 100 retailer Art Van Furniture is implementing the Code Adam safety program at all of its stores.

Backed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the system was developed to quickly find children who are reported missing or lost in a store.

Now at all Art Van stores, when a child is reported missing a special alert is broadcast over the announcement system. Immediately, specific steps are followed by the store employees and a “call to action” is taken to find a missing child. All Art Van employees have been trained in these special child safety steps.

“As a father, I completely understand the worry parents can have when shopping in a public place. Code Adam has proven to be successful and Art Van employees are 100% behind this program,” said Gary Van Elslander, president of Art Van.

Code Adam, which began in 1984, is one of the country's largest child-safety programs.
