PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Beaverton police are looking for suspects after people broke into St. Cecilia’s Church Sunday night and stole a delivery truck used for food pantries.

The church members were amazed. They’re trying to get food to people in need, and losing their one and only big truck not only hurts them, but everyone they serve.

St. Vincent de Paul operates a food collection service at St. Cecilia’s. The church distributes food to local pantries in the Beaverton area, such as Unity Church, just up the road.

“We’ve been blessed – and it’s our job to bless it for someone else,” Pantry manager Gail Key-Benson said.

Key-Benson relies on food deliveries from St. Cecilia and was dismayed when the truck didn’t arrive as usual Tuesday morning.

“Unfortunately, when people came in today and wanted fresh fruits and vegetables, I didn’t have a lot,” Key-Benson said.

Beaverton police say burglars broke into St. Cecilia’s pantry on Sunday night, stealing food and the church’s big yellow delivery truck, which is essential for getting food to people. tens of thousands of families in the community every year.

“You don’t realize how great the gift of generosity is until you don’t have it,” Key-Benson said.

In the meantime, the church has rented a van to try and get by, but finding their stolen truck would be a dream come true.

Although there are no descriptions of suspects at this time, based on church surveillance video, they believe two people broke in.

If you spot the yellow truck with the St. Vincent de Paul logo on the side, take photos and report it to Beaverton Police and refer to file number 22-0240340.
