PROTECT THE HERSHEYS' CHILDREN, INC.
"These [children] must grow up with a feeling that they have a real home." - Milton S. Hershey

Who We Are	Why You Should Care	How You Can Help
Our ranks include MHS alumni, childcare professionals, and others who share our desire to protect the Hersheys’ children.	In Pennsylvania, 30,000 children are in foster care, costing the taxpayers millions. Managed prudently, the Hershey Trust can provide for thousands more of those children in desperate need.	You can help in a variety of ways. Join our newsletter. Participate in our forum. Write a letter to the editor. But most importantly, be informed.
