Humberside Police have asked everybody in Hull, East Yorkshire, to give up their day on Sunday and help search for the 22-year-old woman. They are expecting about 2,000 people to turn up.
Miss Carver was last seen by a friend in Hull in the early hours of March 5.
Her car was found in a quiet country lane outside Hull a few hours later with the keys still in the ignition.
But her purse containing cards and a small amount of cash was gone. Her bank account has not been touched since she disappeared.
Humberside Police are expecting two thousand people to turn up for the search, but they admit that it is unlikely she will be found alive.
The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Inspector Eddie Carlill, said if she was dead it was important to find her body so her parents could grieve properly.
"They are so desperate they just need to know the answer," he said.
Volunteers will be joined by soldiers from the Territorial Army, specialist search teams, sniffer dogs, horses, and more than 50 police officers. The hunt will cover up to 30 sites over 100 square miles.
Miss Carver's parents, Vanessa and Arthur, will also join the search.
