Coastal Delaware Restaurant Week concluded its annual event by providing financial support to several local first responder organizations serving the Delaware beaches.

Organized by the Rehoboth-Dewey Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Cape Gazette, the weeklong event was held June 7-12 and featured participating restaurants throughout the coastal region.
