From the Organizer
Set in the heart of the Sweetest Place on Earth, this race contains a challenging mix of hills and flats as it traverses both the town neighborhood and the scenic Milton Hershey School campus. The 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk is a shorter route but still samples the same Hershey beauty.
Love INC of Greater Hershey serves people in need living in Hershey, Hummelstown, and the Dauphin County portion of Elizabethtown. Their variety of programs range from offering basic necessities to the clients of three Hershey area food banks to supplying qualifying students at Derry Township and Lower Dauphin school districts with new, name-brand sneakers. Through a partnership with the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Love INC offers comfortable lodging at no cost to the loved ones of adult inpatients traveling 50+ miles for care. In addition, Love INC operates an eighteen-month transitional housing program, offers a cost-sharing car repair ministry, and coordinates necessary transportation for those in need.
How is this possible? Love INC comprises a network of twenty-one area churches who generously pool their resources to serve the wider community. With just four employed staff members, Love INC relies on the generosity of their churches, faithful donors, 160+ active volunteers, and community-wide fundraisers.
