Caribbean Patty World, a Black, woman-owned restaurant located at 188.5 Main Street in Binghamton, NY, has been forced to immediately cease operations following a fire that resulted in the building being condemned. For years, Caribbean Patty World has brought culture, community, and authentic food to Binghamton. Like many small businesses, this restaurant was built through hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance. An unexpected disaster like this can threaten everything overnight.

We are raising funds to help Caribbean Patty World recover from this emergency and work toward reopening as quickly as possible. Donations will help cover immediate lost income and payroll, temporary kitchen or commercial space, equipment replacement and transportation costs, permit and inspection fees, lost inventory and supplies, utility and setup costs at a temporary location, and marketing and reopening expenses. This support will help stabilize operations and give this beloved local business a fighting chance to remain part of the Binghamton community.

In addition to donations, we are also seeking connections to temporary commercial kitchen space, grant opportunities, and emergency business resources. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Every contribution, share, and connection matters. How our community responds in moments like this matters. Thank you for supporting Caribbean Patty World during this difficult time.
