A REDDITCH foodbank has been broken into for the third time this year.
The Friends of Isaacs Foodbank with sheds in Greenlands, Batchley, Abbeydale and Moons Moat, operated on a basis of trust – the policy was people to visit one site and only take what they need.
However, after a series of incidents of people clearing out all food stocks, the sheds are now appointment only.
Claire Chapman, who runs the foodbank alongside her son Isaac Winfield, said she disappointed this has happened again.
“After further abuse of our kindness we have decided neither Isaac, the family, or the team can take the upset any further.
“Regardless of what was taken this has caused damage to the shed and has left us needing to replace the padlock.
CCTV of the person believed to be responsible has been uploaded on the Friends of Isaac Facebook page.
Claire added: “We are testing the water at the minute and are opening in the morning at around 9am to 9.30am and closing on the evening after 8pm.
“After being ransacked in April it was such a blow to have this happen again.
“I sometimes wander how Isaac keeps going so very determinedly.
“Hopefully something will be able to be done, but we’re starting to loose faith if I’m honest.”
