Organizers of the Stewartsville Food Pantry are trying to replace some supplies after robbers stole $600 worth of food.

Director Gwen Thorton says sometime Thursday night someone kicked in the back door and nearly emptied a freezer full of meat.

“The back door was open and I thought I did not leave it like that,” Thornton said. “I always check the freezers and everything because they are old and to make sure they are always running. I opened up the big freezer and there was nothing to check.”

All that was left in the freezer was a turkey breast and about five pounds of hamburger.

The food pantry operates solely on donations and does not get government funding.  Thorton says that’s to make sure everyone in the area are served by the pantry if they need it.

She says some funding was gathered to help replace the food but donations are always helpful.

To donate, call 390-2958 or go to the food pantry at 401 Main Street in Stewartsville.

The food pantry serves Stewartsville, Amity, Osborn, Clarksdale and Easton.
