Mahoning County’s St. Vincent DePaul Society will be serving meals outside today after the upstairs ceiling collapsed Tuesday.

Though the ceiling of the dining room was not affected, Murray said the building will be closed to guests and volunteers until a safety inspection is completed.

Guests can pick up a hot meal in take-out containers in the parking lot across from the dining hall today between 10:30 a.m. and noon. Murray said meals may be served outside the rest of the week.
