Why do some people feel that if they need something, they must take it without
asking? I pondered this Thursday when someone burglarized the offices used by a
local charity and other operations here in Springfield, Oregon—Soaring Hope Compassionate Ministries.
Somehow, I just don’t get why a person would go to the extreme of stealing from
a charity organization when giving is what-they-do.
A little about Soaring Hope (This is from their Facebook page): Soaring
Hope is an outreach ministry offering hot meals, laundry facilities, a day
room, and our support to those in need. More than all of that, we offer the
Love of Jesus to all who come to us for assistance.
The thing that gets me the most is why target a charity, if for some asinine reason you are
going to steal at all? These places give out donated food and other items on
top of providing services for laundry and other things as well. If someone has
a problem, I’m sure they have someone available to help that person through
that problem, free of charge, no strings attached.
When I saw what had happened as it became visible on Facebook, I was
outraged and so should you be. This action is not only unacceptable, it’s just
downright wrong.
In conclusion, Kudos to the Springfield Police Department for doing
such a fine job in finding the suspect(s) in such short time. Let it be known
that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.
