Church Theft Shocks Lower Price Hill Community | Dayton News

A beloved 120-year-old community cornerstone in Lower Price Hill, State Avenue United Methodist Church, suffered a devastating break-in where thieves stole diapers, hygiene products, and even ripped out daycare heaters and fixtures. More than just a place of worship, this church feeds the hungry, supports families, and recently gave away school supplies — making the theft especially painful. Pastor Annie Burton says it’s a deep wound to have someone steal from those actively helping others. The church is rallying for recovery, launching an Amazon wishlist to replenish supplies, and seeking to heal not just its own wounds but also those of the perpetrators. Police are investigating — tip line: 513-352-3040. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
