Dewey Beer Co. dining to benefit Miriam’s Table March 15

Dewey Beer Co. will host Dining out with Miriam from 12 to 9 p.m., Wednesday, March 15, at its Dewey Beach location, 2100 Coastal Highway, and Miriam’s Table will receive 15% of sales.

Miriam's Table, a nonprofit organization founded nine years ago by Lewes residents Ed and Susie Keefer, serves children in the Democratic Republic of Congo who face chronic malnutrition. Their organization provides 350 to 400 children with a nutritious meal five days a week. It also dispenses medications and supplies mosquito netting to fight malaria. It has funded construction of a fresh-water drinking well and creates 10 full-time jobs for local residents.

Susie Keefer began going on mission trips to Congo in 2010. In 2013, the Keefers adopted their then-3-year-old daughter Miriam. In 2014, they opened the nutrition center. In total, Susie has made 13 trips to Congo, and a place that was once far out of her comfort zone now feels like home.
