Become a Hershey Partnership Member
Welcome to Hershey, the sweet little town with a lot to offer!
The Hershey Partnership, your Hershey PA Chamber of Commerce, is dedicated to serving businesses that thrive on local as well as tourist commerce. The Hershey Partnership members serve businesses, residents, and visitors. There are many commonalities between businesses that serve those visiting the area and those who live here, but there are also distinct differences. As an organization, we pride ourselves on our ability to serve all of our members’ unique needs – whether they be Hershey restaurants, local services, hotels, attractions, or other types of businesses. One way we do this is through our publication Your Guide to Chocolate Town, USA, a great reference for both Hershey residents and visitors.
The Hershey Partnership is a very active organization, providing you with opportunities for Networking, Advertising, Cooperative Marketing and Personal and Professional Development. We are also very dedicated to giving back to the community through various activities.
If you are interested in growing your business in South Central Pennsylvania or the Hershey area we encourage you to join The Hershey Partnership, your Hershey PA Chamber of Commerce. Stop by our Information Center at 1135 E. Chocolate Avenue St. 102 in Hershey or call us at (717)-298-1359. You can also send us an email at information@hersheypartnership.com.
