PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO
Giving back is not just a speech we recite at company meetings. We live it every day. Our long history of helping our communities stems from our founder, Milton Hershey. His success as a businessman enabled him to make a lasting contribution to society by helping those less fortunate. For nearly a century, the Hershey Trust Company has carried out this mission, administering the Milton Hershey School and serving the community of Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Today, our heritage of helping to prepare children for success in life is carried out through Nourishing Minds, our global commitment to providing basic nutrition for kids in need to help them learn and grow. This work is fueled by the creativity, skills and passion of Hershey employees around the world. We know we can make a meaningful difference by using our unique expertise in food production to help children in need focus on their studies rather than their stomachs.
A Legacy of Making More Moments of Goodness : In 1894, Milton Hershey had a vision to create a product that brought people together and shared more goodness. Hershey is proud to advance the legacy of a purpose-driven founder who wanted to use his business to make the world a better place.
Today, that legacy lives on in our remarkable people and our iconic brands. It’s upheld every day in the way we make moments of connection and shared experiences that consumers love, help kids globally reach their potential, support cocoa-growing communities, minimize our environmental footprint and give back to Hershey communities.
As we reflect on the past 125 years and plan for the next, The Hershey Company is proud to carry on the legacy of our founder, Milton Hershey. Click here to learn more.
