OUR STORY

Everything has a Beginning 

Searchlight Society was created with a simple question: "How hard would it be to clean that area up?" This question alone is and was the catalyst for our organization. West 8th Street and Garland  will always have a special place in our heart. 

West 8th Street and Garland was the first location, where Searchlight Society deployed their services: Operation Clean Streets. With only 2 Volunteers and 4 Hours, we were able to clear and remove over 20 32 gallon bags of trash from the street.
