Our commitment and dedication to the Harrisburg community is not something we take lightly. We are thrilled to have been recognized as the business of the year by the Harrisburg Young Professionals for our Grub for Scrubs initiative. Our team of passionate individuals wanted to find ways in which we could provide direct support to our community during challenging times. We are grateful for everyone’s involvement in our program, which invested in locally-owned businesses. Partnering with and supporting Harrisburg restaurants, we fed hardworking frontline healthcare staff at UPMC Pinnacle. We've accepted this award, and we are honored, but it was only possible thanks to you, our Harrisburg community. A big shoutout to Catamaran, our sister company, who collaborated with us to lead these efforts.
Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to honor some incredible individuals and organizations during our Annual Meeting for their efforts through HYP, in the community, and through projects they developed throughout 2020. 🎉 We are so proud to call these award-winners neighbors, local businesses, and friends of Harrisburg. They are all a key part of what makes Harrisburg a great place to live, work, & play. 👏 Join us in a well-deserved round of applause in congratulating the following:
