Help Rebuild A-1 Grocery Store from Fire Aftermath
Donation protected
Hello all,
As many of you know, a fire broke out on 3/21/21 destroying my family's small business. We are so blessed and thankful that everyone in the building is safe.
A-1 Halal Meats & Groceries was opened by my dad in 2005 (15 years ago) in Binghamton to bring an ethnic grocery store for people in the community, filling a need not met by chain grocery stores. With hard work and dedication, A-1 became a staple in our community offering goods, halal meats, and multi-cultural foods and serving the growing diverse population.
We are so thankful for everyone's safety, Unfortunately, the fire, water, and smoke damage have left everything unsalvageable, including $150,000 in inventory and $50,000 in equipment.
Our family hopes to be back up and running to serve our customers as soon as possible. I have created this with the intention to bring awareness and help provide my family donations to help with the rebuilding process.
Anything is appreciated. Please keep my family in your prayers as we deal with this devastation. Thank you in advance!
