The director of the Statesboro Food Bank is offering a $500 cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever has been breaking in and stealing food. Joe Bill Brannon, who offers the reward from his own pocket and not from Food Bank funds, said he suspects the culprit is someone who may have been court-ordered to volunteer at the Food Bank, and he believes the thief is selling the stolen food because the amount taken is far more than a hungry family would need, he said. Brannon said someone broke in "about a month and a half ago," and more recently, someone invaded the charitable organization's facility Thursday and "sometime between Friday and Monday."
