Henry Co. food bank truck, food stolen

The operator of a food bank in Henry County is wondering why someone would steal thousands of pounds of food.

The heist of the 25-foot truck that held 6,500 pounds of food items occurred Sept. 15.

Lori Miller, executive director of Helping in His Name Ministries, said she was heartbroken by the theft. The food was to be given to people in need of assistance.

Miller said the food pantry has seen a growing demand for their services from struggling families.

The food bank, located in Stockbridge, serves an average of 2,400 people a week.

Police said no arrests were made.
