Doing the Right Thing

TheBurg Podcast

As hard as the pandemic was, and continues to be, for many people, there also continue to be glimmers of light, silver linings, business expansions, and stories about people helping others—doing the right thing.

And that’s the theme that links all of today’s podcast interviews, together:

• Peter Leonard, CEO/Owner of Little Amps Coffee Roasters, location of the Green Street Community Pantry
• Kristin Messner-Baker, owner of The Vegetable Hunter, whose Harrisburg restaurant has expanded to Carlisle and Hershey
• Kellie Black of Middletown, who recently launched Harrisburg’s chapter of the 40+ Double Dutch Club
