As the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues, relief and response efforts are developing rapidly, with governments, companies and foundations all lining up to support families in communities in need.

Supporting our communities in difficult times is an important part of our legacy. Our founder Milton Hershey’s actions through pivotal moments in our history – whether creating jobs during the Great Depression, or creating ration bars for the U.S. Army during World War II – were grounded in his belief that people are better, together.

这种精神今天继续引导我们。我们为确保我们的品牌能够为消费者和社区提供限制是我们认真对待的责任，以确保我们的品牌能够为消费者和社区提供极大的自豪。这是这家公司核心的杰出员工和他们团结的精神，使我们能够实现这一目标。
