The director of an area food pantry damaged by strong winds Thursday said she plans to re-open next week.

Winds tore part of the roof off the Murphysboro Food Pantry.

Executive Director Megan Austin said staff members moved food around in the warehouse to protect it but there was no damage inside.

The shop was closed Friday as a precaution and Austin said she is optimistic about re-opening on Monday.

Austin said she is not sure how much repairs will cost.
