Food Pantry Hit with Fireworks to be Relocated

(LaPorte, IN) - A 24-hour food pantry in LaPorte is going to be relocated after fireworks were again set off inside it. The six-foot ball box made of wood has been outside the Civic Auditorium

for about the past four months.

 

People can take or put food into the box around the clock. Center Township Trustee Lisa Pierzakowski says the fireworks vandals struck again at night during the 4th of July. She said most disturbing was some of the food being taken out of the box and left on the ground.

 

Fireworks were also placed inside the food pantry last week. Pierzakowski says where it’s going to be moved has not been decided. She says pictures were taken of three suspects, two were described as females. A police report was filed in hopes of catching the suspects believed to be

teenagers.
