A local food bank was the victim of a heartless break-in last week, with damage to the building to put the not-for-profit out of pocket.

The Neighbours’ Place at 77 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh provides vulnerable locals with emergency food relief and no-interest loans.

On Tuesday 14 June, The Neighbours’ Place was broken into, and while nothing major was stolen, damage to the building’s locks will cut into funds intended to help those in need.
