Gemma's Angels provides volunteers to work in various capacities within the Hershey Entertainment Complex, which is comprised of Hersheypark, Hersheypark Arena, Hersheypark Stadium, and Giant Center, when their staffing is not up to its full potential.
Typically those times of the year are mid-April weekends through Memorial Day, and mid-August through the end of September. Select groups will be asked to work needed shifts for our shoulder season events, which include Halloween In Hershey and Hersheypark Christmas Candylane, as well as assist at Giant Center during the hockey season.
For each three to five hour shift, each one of our volunteers receives a voucher good for one (1) HersheyPark admission ticket. The vouchers are good for one year. At busy times, HersheyPark will double and sometimes even triple the vouchers. Our charity will receive $6.00 for every hour that you work.
This is a great chance to earn HersheyPark tickets for out of town guests and family!

Mission Statement
OUR VISION We want to change the way we feed the poor. OUR MISSION - Provide fresh fruits and vegetables to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food banks in Dauphin and Lebanon Counties, and - Encourage at-risk children and families to engage in healthy lifestyles including consuming fresh fruits and vegetables and to become educated in sustainable living.
Description
Gemma’s Angels is an IRS 502(c)3 non-profit organization which envisions a world where hunger is a temporary inconvenience rather than a life sentence.
HOW WE ADDRESS IMMEDIATE NEEDS
- We purchase produce from local sources when possible and collect fresh produce from local donor gardeners. We distribute the produce free of charge to soup kitchens, shelters and food banks.
- We also operate an All-Kids Mobile Farmer's Market where school-age children can pick and choose their own produce to take home to supplement weekend feeding programs with an added educational component.
- We operate a Truck Farm Trailer Program that’s a traveling, edible exhibit that allows youth to get a hands-on look at the source of the food that fuels their growing bodies and minds. The program will visit youth groups, camps, schools, etc. to deliver interactive and educational lessons about the benefits of nutritious produce. It's designed to engage school children in healthy eating and to teach sustainability.
- We conduct Christmas parties at local homeless shelters and annually provide holiday happiness to over 150 children and adults.
