“An unknown suspect used a rock to make entry into the shelter,” said Shirley Miller, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station.
Food and hygiene products were among the items stolen from Santa Clarita’s only homeless shelter.
This theft comes after the shelter’s annual Soup for the Soul fundraiser, which raised money for the winter season. Bridge to Home opened for the winter Monday, Nov. 20.
Bridge to Home also recently announced the hiring of Chris Najarro, who previously worked with Family Promise of SCV for about six years, as the center’s director of programming.
“Our major focus right now is the Winter Shelter season,” said Chris Najarro, the shelter’s new director of programming. “And hoping that we can round up some volunteers to meet the needs of the clients.”
Clients always need certain items, officials said.
