Swim Ocean City Donates $500 to Help Feed Frontline Workers

Swim Ocean City Director Corey Davis donated $500 to Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli in Ocean City to help with Rosenfeld’s 50% discounts to medical staff, grocery store workers and postal service employees. 

“I wanted to do something for the people that are taken for granted at times, and the backbone of the community. They give up so much of their personal life so everyone else can have a better quality of living. These are the individuals that give a lot more than they receive and are often under appreciated.” said Davis.

Rosenfeld’s is a traditional, kosher-style, full service Jewish deli restaurant. They have two locations - Ocean City, MD and Rehoboth Beach, DE. While Rosenfeld’s has always provided discounts to firemen, first responders and military personnel, Warren Rosenfeld, owner, wanted to extend this discount to help feed medical professionals on the front line who are in close contact with COVID-19 patients everyday.

“Offering the medical professionals the 50% discount was the right thing to do. It gives them an incentive to buy food that they otherwise might not buy. It lets us do a really good thing for the community, recognizing the people right now that are truly on the front lines,” said Rosenfeld when interviewed by WMDT on March 26, 2020

Swim Ocean City is a local non-profit organization that raises funds for research and awareness of traumatic brain injuries and promotes the positive effects that sports have on the brain and body. Every summer in July, Swim Ocean City hosts Ocean Games - an open water swim competition - to help raise funds. Unfortunately, this year Ocean Games was cancelled due to COVID-19.
