From Syracuse-Five downtown churches have joined with Cathedral Square Development Corp, Catholic Charities and the Food Bank of Central New York to save a downtown food pantry from closing.
Officials say Park Central Presbyterian Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral, Prince of Peace Missionary Baptist Church, Plymouth Congregational Church and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, coming together as Cathedral Square United Ministries, worked with Catholic Charities to create a transition plan to keep the Cathedral Emergency Services pantry open.
The pantry will close temporarily on Friday for refurbishing and restocking, and will reopen July 17. Without the collaboration, it was set to close for good at the end of June, officials said in May.
