Milton Hershey•Milton Hershey became very rich by selling

candy. At first it was caramels, but as you may already know, it was "Hershey's Chocolate" that made him wealthy and famous. Milton and his wife, Catherine gave their money, time, and energy to open a home for boys who didn't have a mom or a dad. Today in Hershey, PA, because of his GENEROSITY, homes and schools for over 1,500 children provide the help and encouragement those boys and girls need.
