OCEAN CITY, Md., Jan.6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Real estate developer and leading outdoor hospitality specialist Blue Water announced that they have donated $150,000 to Diakonia in Ocean City, Md., as part of a new holiday season initiative to give back to the communities that host some of Blue Water's many properties.
"With tourism and travel now recovering from the pandemic, we thought it was high time to start giving back to the communities that helped us survive during the crisis," said Todd Burbage, Blue Water's CEO. "Ocean City is both our home and the home to many of our properties, so we are glad we can give back to the community that supports us and has helped us grow over these many years."
As the only comprehensive provider for homeless men, women, children, and veterans in the lower Eastern Shore area, Diakonia has been helping Marylanders since 1972 through food assistance, emergency housing, and personal case management.
The donation will specifically be going toward supporting Diakonia homeless prevention programs across Worcester County while also providing funding for many of the organization's long-existing charitable initiatives.
"This new holiday donation initiative is a unique opportunity to show how much we value the communities where our properties are located," Burbage said. "Ocean City is our home, and we whole-heartedly support Diakonia's mission to help our fellow residents fight against homelessness and poverty. We're excited about supporting initiatives and charities like this across the country as we give back this holiday season, and we are hoping that this becomes a yearly tradition."
