Three of the organization’s service vehicles were badly damaged in a vandalism incident that happened sometime between midnight Friday and Saturday morning.
The vehicles, two of which are often used in emergency disasters, were parked in the parking lot behind the Salvation Army’s Rutland Thrift store.
The damage included smashed windows and ripped-out wiring.
“These vehicles, obviously, were purchased with the support of our community and so that was really heartbreaking and to know that it would impact our ability to serve the community,” Henson told Global News.
The two specialized vehicles include a refrigerated truck and a mobile food services vehicle.
