Hershey Nonprofits and Charities

We adopted Fiji (now Napoleon) in October and Cocoa Kitties has been wonderful to work with. When I told his foster mom Cait that I felt like we were bothering her too much because of a few behavior issues, she said we weren't bothering at all and added, "you're part of the Cocoa Kitties family now!" They have worked with us on getting Naps to stop peeing outside of the litter box - they have given us different things to try and advice, as this has never been an issue I've encountered with previous cats. Cait even offered to kitten sit for us when we went away for a week! I don't know of any other rescues who would go that above and beyond, especially post-adoption! When we're ready for another cat, we'll absolutely be going through them again.

I am the volunteer coordinator for Gemma’s Angels Hershey Park volunteers. We have amazing volunteers that “work” in the park for donations from HP. Last year they earned over $10,000. This helped to keep our little bus delivering fresh fruits and vegetables to those in need in the Hershey, Harrisburg area.

The US Constitution, The Amendments, The Magna Carta, The Declaration of Independence, The Gettysburg Address and THE FOUNDING FATHERS ; their TRUE INTENTIONS!We hear our Constitution and America's history so MANGLED and misinterpreted that if we thought anyone would READ IT, we'd send a set of these books about America ( link at the bottom) to a WHOLE BUNCH of congressman, EVERY Republican candidate , and a LOT of reporters ! We'll begin by assuring that the children in our neighborhood have a set of beautiful, compelling books from SCHOLASTIC that will make them WANT to learn about the beginnings of their country, the nearly sacred documents that aided in that creation, and perhaps , one day, one of these children will become a congressperson with actual KNOWLEDGE of the Constitution, The Amendments, The Magna Carta, The Declaration of Independence, The Gettysburg Address and THE FOUNDING FATHERS and their TRUE INTENTIONS!<br>We may not save the world from illness or disease, but we can SURE AS HECK help it learn to LOVE BOOKS! We love #GivingTuesday, but rarely have the time to get out into our community and do anything HANDS ON. However, a recent relocations has us residing a HALF BLOCK from our new parish church and the school that it provides. We read that Taylor Swift donated 25 thousand dollars in SCHOLASTIC BOOKS to schools and our mission was made CLEAR! Books for a little school up the street! <br>Recent events in Paris and Mali, Belgium and God only knows where~ next, have the pundits, the 'candidates' and just about EVERYONE spouting off regarding 'what they would do' had THEY been dining al fresco when those SUICIDE BOMBERS showed up. ( This is where the Republicans declare that this incident ALONE clarifies the essential nature of the Second Amendment~The right to bear arms~ )'They'd have shot those killers before they killed all those innocents' we hear over and over. Of course, it's MUCH more likely they'd have gotten shot by some gun toting , untrained fraidycat who'd whipped out a handgun, and shot up everything BUT the suicide bombers ...but we digress Children MUST understand the beginnings of their country, the nearly sacred documents that aided in that creation, and perhaps , one day, one of these children will become a congressperson with actual KNOWLEDGE of the Constitution, The Amendments, The MAgna Carter, The Declaration of Independence and THE FOUNDING FATHERS and their TRUE INTENTIONS!
