In 1909, Milton Hershey and his wife signed the Deed of Trust creating the Milton Hershey School. They had decided to use their wealth to help the less fortunate providing children below the poverty line with shelter, food and education. In 1918, Hershey gave the School's trust fund his entire fortune and his ownership of his company. "These [children] must grow up with a feeling that they have a real home" -Milton S. Hershey


 * ^Students of this school were originally only white and male. Later on, enrollment extended to people of all gender and color.^**
