Help Us Give Back
In the true spirit of the season, The AACA Museum, Inc at Hershey is teaming up with Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and Toys for Tots for a food and toy “drive” throughout the holidays.

Central Pennsylvania’s Food Bank is a non-profit organization that helps provide food to over 55,000 people in need every week. You can help by donating non-perishable food items or by giving financially. With access to the wholesale distribution market, Central PA Food Bank can stretch each dollar you donate. For every $1 donated, the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank can provide six meals to hungry individuals.

We will also be collecting new, unwrapped toys for children up to age 16 in support of Toys for Tots. Donations will be accepted from November 13 – December 22.
