Pike County food pantry burglarized - WYMT News

PIKE Co., Ky. (WYMT)- They say it is better to give than receive and that is where "Operation Eat" comes in. The ministry of Jubilee Christian Assembly feeds around one hundred and fifty families a month from their food pantry. Pantry volunteer, Carl Tackett says the food that is given out means a lot to those who get it.

"Once a month don' sound like much, but we give a lot of food. It ain't a can of beans or something like that it's big boxes of stuff," said Tackett.

Tackett says someone burglarized the facility during the weekend.

"This is a place of giving and somebody just came in here and took our stuff...help their self," Tackett stated. "All they had to do is probably ask for it. This is where I had the lawnmower parked at, I had my four wheeler...had it covered. They used my own trailer to haul my own stuff outta here with."
