EXPLORE!
Hershey, Pennsylvania, is not only home to the leading manufacturer of Chocolate products in North America, to an amusement park and to Chocolate World attraction, and to other delights, it’s all home for Mr. Hershey’s kids!
Milton and his wife, Kitty, were unable to have children of their own, so they decided to start a home for orphan boys. Today, the vast complex of homes and schools serves the educational and family needs of over 1,200 children. It’s a wonderful continuing memorial to the Hersheys and their desire to use their money to help others. The Hersheys were philanthropists. Maybe you’ve come across that word before. Philanthropists are people who use their money to help others less fortunate than they…
You too can be a philanthropist. Buy one less candy bar a week and put that money in a special “Philanthropy Jar.” By December holiday time, you’ll have enough money in your jar to buy a toy or something else for a child in need. The money in your Philanthropy Jar will help you touch someone’s life. It’s a great start.
