Food bank in Tacoma flooded with donations after burglar vandalizes, defecates inside facility
Q13's Franque Thompson reports.
TACOMA - Tacoma Police Department is looking for a burglar who trashed a food bank, leaving behind a sickening calling card. St. Leo’s Food Connection is recovering from vandalism that forced critical services to close for all of Wednesday.
About 500 people per day go to the food bank to get help putting food on the table. Those hundreds of clients could not get what they needed because staff had shut down the building to clean up after a vandal.
Executive director Lisa Gallegos said staff came in early Wednesday morning to a mess at the food bank. She said a male suspect stole three laptops, broke a chair, and defecated all over the floor in their main office.
