SUMMERTON, SC (WOLO) — Summerton Food Bank reported that much of its food has been stolen.  The small town is located in Clarendon County at the edge of the Midlands.

Via Facebook, the food bank says “Storage has been broken into and our food bank goods have been stolen. All of our salmon, chicken, tuna, & beef stew are all gone along with the majority of our canned vegetables, canned fruits, pasta, and other nonperishable goods. Easily thousands of dollars of resources for our food bank are gone. Salmon is up to $5 a can and it comes 24 cans per case, the other meats are $2-3 per can, canned vegetables & nonperishables are $1-2 each. All of our Campbell’s Soups for our upcoming community event for the senior citizens of Summerton are gone and all of our spaghetti and pasta sauce is gone. Over 50 cases of canned and nonperishable goods stolen. We are at a huge loss.”
