Police in Rochester are investigating a break-in at the Foodlink’s distribution center on Mount Read Boulevard. According to the non-profit, hundreds of pounds of food and non-food items were stolen Sunday night.

“Foodlink was made aware of a break-in to our facility late Sunday night and is cooperating with the Rochester Police Department on the investigation,” said Julia Tedesco, President & CEO of Foodlink. “We will review security footage to determine the extent of the damage and are deeply disappointed at the theft of both food and non-food items from our distribution center. Our food-banking operations and all of our food-related programs will not be severely impacted, and we look forward to continuing our mission and service to this community.”
