8: BLOOM BAKERY IN KANSAS CITY

Sarah is a former nurse who worked through the SARS virus. She switched gears to running two bakeries in downtown Kansas City. In March, COVID-19 led to many businesses to close, or reset. Bloom Bakery stayed open. She gathered her team and made the decision to remain serving, as long as they could serve safely with her medical knowledge. The first pivot was from French bakery to delivering meal kits. Local media picked up her story, which thankfully led to her second pivot--delivering to hospitals. Recognizing that Feeding the Frontline was dwindling, the third pivot began, and we will hear more, in Sarah's own words. Enjoy.  We are eager to share the stories that inspire you to keep going, and maybe even keep growing, in spite of the pandemic. Look up Bloom Bakery at https://bloombakingco.com/ and follow their journey on social media. Listen now…
