Thief breaks into food bank in Sydney's Inner West

A thief has broken into a food bank in Sydney's Inner West in a desperate bid for cash and valuables.

The Addi Road Food Pantry in Marrickville was robbed a month ago but its volunteers are still feeling the effects.

Addison Road Community Organisation CEO Rosanna Bargero said they were really saddened someone was pushed to the extreme of breaking into a charity.

"We had a lot of media equipment stolen, laptops and the keys to our cars which meant the entire operation of food rescue came to a standstill and we are still waiting on some keys to be replaced," Bargero said.

Six not-for-profit charities in the same beloved Inner West community centre have been targeted in the last four months.

Police said it was unclear if all the incidents were linked but are hoping someone recognises the man in the video.

 "If you are in need please come and talk to us, we can help you," Bargero said.

"It is hard but if you take that first step you will see we don't judge, we welcome everybody."
