Hersheys Dark Chocolate Bar

In 1909 HERSHEY'S Chocolate provided the means to establish a unique school that still thrives today, and is the legacy of Milton Hershey. Hershey's belief that an individual is morally obligated to share the fruits of success with others resulted in significant contributions to society. Saddened because they had no children of their own, the Hershey's were anxious to put their growing chocolate profits to better use. Together with his wife, Catherine, he established the most prominent of his philanthropic endeavors - the Hershey Industrial School - in 1909. Now called Milton Hershey School, the 10,000-acre school houses and provides education for nearly 1,100 children whose family lives have been disrupted.
