ATLANTA - A southwest Atlanta church that was targeted by thieves has gotten some help from a former Braves player.
Beloved Community Church on Ira Street was hit twice in one week in February.
The church serves the homeless community and others in need.
Pastor F. Keith Slaughter says thieves broke into the church overnight on Feb. 1 and stole $2,000 worth of goods. The thieves came back two days later and stole what was left.
"It makes it really disheartening to feel that people would steal from us when everything is free," he said.
