SoDel Cares, the philanthropic arm of SoDel Concepts, recently donated $2,500 to the Rehoboth Beach-based Community Resource Center, a nonprofit founded in 2011 to help residents in eastern Sussex County who are facing crisis.

“Many don’t realize that there are homeless and hungry people in coastal Delaware who are struggling,” said Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts, which has 11 restaurants in eastern Sussex County. “The Community Resource Center provides the services to help people get back on their feet.”

Each month, the organization provides 2,000 bags of groceries. Services also include respite, laundry facilities and showers for homeless individuals. The Harry K and Community Resource Center Baby Pantry provides essential items such as clothing, food, formula and diapers to those who are eligible.

“We respect the CRC’s important work in our area, and we’re proud to support their much-needed services,” Kammerer said.
