<div>On August 10, 2022, an explosion occurred in one of the large walk-in ovens at the Stonybrook University Food Incubator in Calverton. The facility that houses over 70 food producers' operations was shut down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stonybrook University ( SBU), Suffolk County Government, State &amp; County Representatives, and the Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers (SCAC) are working to reopen this site and find temporary locations for the producers to resume their operations. Over 75% of the businesses are Women Minority Business Enterprises ( WMBE).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The SBU incubator program has been in operation for over 12 years and has provided entrepreneurs an opportunity to build their businesses at this food coop facility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many producers invest their dreams and even life savings in their businesses. There is an economic loss of over 600k to date. (9/10/22). Also sustaining losses are the producer’s families, employees, suppliers, local farmers, customers, and consumers, in addition to the loss of sales tax revenues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This “Go Fund Me “ page is established to assist the producers in their rising financial burdens while trying to slow their economic losses. One hundred percent ( 100% ) of the funds will be turned over to the food producers to help with their operations and stop-gap losses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we realize that these donations are helpful and needed, we ask for assistance from the private and corporate sectors and philanthropists.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please visit the following website for a list of Incubator businesses:

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to the ask for financial donations, the producers can also use donated food ingredients. Please get in touch with us at <a href="https://suffolkchambers.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[email redacted]</a> for specific information.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope “Strong Island” can again come together to help with these needed donations.  THANK YOU!
