Coats & Clothes for our Community

After our holiday shopping spree for the children for New Life, we found ourselves with a bit of extra money to spend. Kohl’s gives its customers gift certificates to use at their next visit with every $50 purchase. A few of our wrappedhersheys.com employees took this Kohl’s Cash to purchase more coats, clothes and shoes. When contemplating where to donate these extra gifts, it was quickly decided that the perfect home for these items was with the Roberts Paideia Academy in Cincinnati. This Cincinnati public school strives to ensure that each student receives a quality education and is supported emotionally, socially and spiritually.

Once the school received our gift, we received a kind thank you letter from the Principal and CLC Resource Coordinator. They said, “The coats, clothes and shoes will help many of our students who have tried to wear their jackets just one more year, or do not have an actual winter coat. Your kindness and commitment goes a long way to supplement the extras that mean so much to our students.”

At Carson wrappedhersheys.com, we are glad to be able to give back to our community in a positive way and help our youth. We can’t wait to shop again next year!

5. Place the cupcakes in the oven and set the timer for 18 minutes.

6. When the cupcakes are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes. (Hint: The longer you let the cupcakes cool, the easier it will be to apply the icing and create the heart shapes)
