With enough searching, you may be able to find a footprint. However, it is generally easier to make your own using the library tool. The part you mention should take no more than 10 minutes to make once you learn how to use the library editor. It's well worth the effort to learn to make your own footprints.
Make the footprint yourself. If you do any amount of CAD work, you _will_ find that you often have to make your own schematic patterns and PCB footprints. You may as well learn to use the library editors now.
