Soup kitchen forced to close temporarily after fire at Wyandanch church

Church leaders say they're doing what they can to clean up after this fire and get their soup kitchen back up and running. Now you won't be able to see the damage of the fire that caused to the church here outside. Most of the damage was done inside here at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Wyandanch. Take a look at these pictures that were shared with us by the church. You can see the fire, the damage caused by the fire. The fire started Sunday afternoon near an outside door and spread through the kitchen and upstairs to the church offices. The fire damaged the building and the soup kitchen inside, forcing church leaders to close it. Luckily, the kitchen equipment and most of the food survived the fire. The church here on South 20th Street has been part of the Wyandanch community for 90 years, and its Mercy Soup Kitchen has fed people for about 45 years. Church leaders say they serve about 150 meals a day. The damage is minimal, but there's smoke damage, there's water damage, and they had to rip out doors and windows, so we've got to get all of that replaced. We're told no one was hurt, and fire officials say the fire appears to be accidental. Those who run the soup kitchen say they hope to have it back open running sometime this week. Jen, Erin. Okay, Logan, we'll get back to you, get an update a little later.
