The Parkdale Food Centre has appealed for help to find out who slashed the tires on its “Reverse Food Truck” and several local businesses have stepped up to help.

The centre says volunteers discovered all four tires on the truck were slashed Tuesday morning. It happened sometime between Saturday afternoon and Tuesday morning when volunteers went to use the vehicle.
Nothing was stolen from inside the van and repairs are expected to cost them $650.
Donations were made to the Parkdale Food Centre through its website and by some businesses in the Hintonburg area.
Anyone with information on the vandalism is asked to contact the Parkdale Food Centre.
So sad to find our Reverse Food truck this morning with 4 tires slashed! Towing & repair will cost money budgeted for food. @OttawaPolice pic.twitter.com/LuunXGn7BZ
