Food Bank Defies Break-in to Deliver Meals

The Hunger Intervention Program, a North Seattle nonprofit dedicated to combating food insecurity, is cooperating with law enforcement following a burglary that occurred recently. The break-in, believed to have happened overnight, resulted in significant damage to the organization's offices, with multiple laptops, gift cards, and checkbooks stolen. One attempt was made to use a stolen checkbook at a bank. Security cameras were reportedly not operational at the time of the incident, adding to the mystery of how entry was gained without external signs of forced entry. Despite the disruption and loss, the program successfully continued its mission. The Hunger Intervention Program is vital, delivering 19,000 meals each month to vulnerable populations, including seniors, children, and the unsheltered. The organization emphasized that their commitment to serving the community remained unbroken, successfully distributing all scheduled meals.
